A California judge criticized a pair of law firms for the unknown use of artificial intelligence after receiving an additional summary with “many misfortunes and wrong, inactive and misleading legal quotes.” In a ruling presented Last week, Judge Michael Wellner imposed $ 31,000 on penalties against the firm law companies, saying, “No reasonably qualified lawyer should outperform research and writing” to artificial intelligence, as he indicated under the law Professors Eric Goldman and Blake Reed On Blues.
“I have read their summary, they were persuaded (or at least fascinated) by the authorities they martyred, and looked for decisions to learn more about them – just to find that they are not present,” Judge Milner writes. “This is frightening. It almost led to the most terrifying result (from my view) to include these false materials in a judicial matter.”
As observed in the deposit, the legal representative of the plaintiff used a civil lawsuit against the state of artificial intelligence to generate an additional plot. However, this outlines contained “false search that was created” when it was sent to a separate law firm, K& L Gates, which added information to a summary. “There is no lawyer or employee in any of the company that appears to be verified or reviewed in another way this research before submitting the summary,” Judge Milner writes.
When Judge Milner reviewed the summary, it was found that “at least two of the aforementioned authorities are not present at all.” After I asked the K& L Gates to clarify, the company re -presented the summary, which Judge Milner said contained “much more martyrdom and quotes behind the initial error.” Then he issued an order to show the case, giving specific data lawyers confirming the use of artificial intelligence. The lawyer who created the detailed plan for the use of Google Gemini, as well as the legal research tools for Amnesty International at Westlaw PRECISION with Coconsel.
This is not the first time that lawyers have been arrested using artificial intelligence in the courtroom. Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen She cited makeup court cases In a legal document after the error in the Google Gemini error, then called Bard, as a “high -charging search engine” instead of Chatbot, Amnesty International. The judge also found that Lawyers are sued a Colombian airline It included a large group of false cases created by ChatGPT in its summary.
Judge Milner writes: “The primary use, which was not revealed by artificial intelligence products to create the first draft of the summary, was wrong.” And sending that substance to other lawyers without revealing the simple origins of artificial intelligence put these professionals in the way of harm. “
