- The examples highlight risks for lawyers, including submitting unverified information and leaking sensitive data.
Court documents have included convincing cases that never existed, along with fabricated judicial decisions, false quotations and supposed legal sources.
These are not merely theoretical risks linked to artificial intelligence. They reflect real, widely reported cases in which AI-generated information was submitted to courts without proper verification.
The examples raise two central challenges for lawyers: identifying invented legal material before it enters a case, and protecting confidential information from being leaked through AI systems.
