Judges are upping their game on AI, at what cost.

Judges are upping their game on AI, at what cost. But is AI creating issues for courts as judges have to evaluate the validity of legal submissions?Directly put, Plaintiff’s use of AI affirmatively misled me, Judge Wilner wrote in a May 5 order. I read their brief, was persuaded (or at least intrigued) by the authorities that they cited, and looked up the decisions to learn more about them—only to find that they didn’t exist. That’s scary. It almost led to the scarier outcome (from my perspective) of including those bogus materials in a judicial order. Strong deterrence is needed to make sure that attorneys don’t succumb to this easy shortcut.In this case the judge made it clear that the lawyers involved collectively acted in a manner that was tantamount to bad faith,, no reasonably competent attorney should out-source research and writing to this technology—particularly without any attempt to verify the accuracy of that material.The judge moved to sanction the lawyers I have struck, and decline to consider, any of the supplemental briefs that Plaintiff submitted on the privilege issue, Wilner wrote. From this, I decline to award any of the discovery relief (augmenting a privilege log, ordering production of materials, or requiring in camera review of items) that Plaintiff sought in the proceedings that led up to the bogus briefs.Rachel V. Rose, JD, MBA this is an issue that you have discussed many times. which AI can have a positive impact on the legal process, it should not come at a cost to the governance, oversight and assurance.@Thaddeus Dziekanowski Brian D.
