She made these comments after the prosecutor repeatedly sought more details about her use of Artificial Intelligence while testifying in the trial against Hashim Thaçi, Bashkim Smakaj, Isni Kilaj, Fadil Fazliu, and Hajredin Kuçi, who are accused of criminal offenses against the administration of justice.

The witness stated that Artificial Intelligence tools were not the basis of her conclusions, but merely illustrative aids that helped her in her work.

Later, Prosecutor Hafetz questioned the expert’s earlier statement regarding the importance of AI in her assessments.

In her response, Fraser challenged the prosecution, saying that the terms in question had not been used by her and that she had been pressured into accepting them.

Earlier, the Australian expert stated that because she does not know the Albanian language, she was more limited in her evaluation.

Forensic linguistics expert Helen Fraser, who is appearing as a defense witness, also stated before the trial panel today that her findings were not based on Artificial Intelligence platforms.

Following this discussion, Thaçi’s defense lawyer, Sophie Menegon, intervened and requested that the prosecution stop this line of questioning.

Helen Fraser, who began her testimony yesterday before the Specialist Chambers during questioning by former President Hashim Thaçi’s defense team, had stated that she used Artificial Intelligence for transcribing audio recordings provided by Thaçi’s defense.

In this court case, former President Hashim Thaçi, Bashkim Smakaj, Fadil Fazliu, Isni Kilaj, and Hajredin Kuçi are charged with criminal offenses against the administration of justice.

At the initial hearing on February 27, 2026, the accused pleaded not guilty to the charges against them.
