AI Creates Photorealistic Image of Maduro in Court

Based on traditional courtroom sketches made during the hearing, an Artificial Intelligence recreated with photorealistic accuracy Nicolás Maduro's first appearance before U.S. justice. According to Argentina News Agency, the digitally processed images reveal a brutal contrast with the image of Venezuela's 'strongman.' The dissemination of this 'generated photograph' quickly became a worldwide trend, filling the visual void that federal trials in the United States usually leave. The former first lady is also dressed in the blue prison uniform and has a white bandage on her forehead, presumed to be a sequel to the capture operation or the transfer. In the image, Maduro keeps his hands clasped together in front, showing the security handcuffs, while being guarded by his defense lawyer, David Wikstrom. New York, January 5 -- The hermetic courtroom of the Southern District of New York does not allow television or photographers inside, but technology allowed the world to see the fall of chavism in high definition. Maduro appears wearing a blue prisoner's uniform, visibly haggard, with his characteristic mustache but with a lost gaze. A key detail is the headset system he is wearing to listen to the simultaneous translation of the charges against him. Handcuffs and a bandage: the details of the fall. The recreation also shows, seated at his side, his wife Cilia Flores.
