		</div><p>A German publisher has dismissed one of its magazine editors and apologised to the family of Michael Schumacher for publishing a fake interview with the Formula One great that was generated by artificial intelligence.</p>
<p>“This tasteless and misleading article should never have appeared. It does not in any way correspond to the standards of journalism that we – and our readers – expect from a publisher like Funke,” Funke magazines managing director Bianca Pohlmann said on Saturday.</p>
<p>Ms Pohlmann said Funke was firing the chief editor of Die Aktuelle magazine, where the so-called interview appeared, and the group apologised to Schumacher’s family.</p>
<p>Family spokesperson Sabine Kehm already told The Associated Press on Thursday that it was planning to take legal action over a “fake artificial intelligence interview by German outlet Die Aktuelle”.</p>
<p>The magazine printed a photo of the 54-year-old Schumacher on its front page last weekend along with the words: “Michael Schumacher, the first interview!”</p>
<p>The magazine also wrote “it sounds deceptively real” with the supposed quotes attributed to Schumacher generated by AI. Die Aktuelle is one of many tabloid celebrity magazines in Germany.</p>
<p>It was while skiing in the French Alps at Meribel that Schumacher fell in December 2013 and suffered a near-fatal brain injury. His head hit a rock which split open his helmet. Doctors removed blood clots but others were left untouched because they were too deeply embedded in his brain.</p>
<p>Since being transferred from hospital in September 2014, the seven-time F1 champion continues to be cared for privately at a family home in Switzerland.</p>
<p>Schumacher retired from F1 in 2012 after three seasons with Mercedes and was replaced on the team by Lewis Hamilton, who has matched Schumacher’s F1 titles record.</p>
