Federal Judge Rules Against AI in Court - Why Accuracy Verification is Crucial

A federal judge in Texas has ruled that lawyers cannot submit submissions written by artificial intelligence (AI) unless the output is checked by a human. The judge, Brantley Starr, has also ordered lawyers to file certificates attesting that their filings are either written or reviewed by humans. Starr said that AI "platforms in their current states are prone to hallucinations and bias" and that they are not acceptable for legal briefing. The judge's new standing order on AI came after a New York-based lawyer admitted to using ChatGPT to help write court filings that cited six nonexistent cases invented by the AI tool. Comments on the post discuss the limitations and potential biases of AI models like ChatGPT, as well as the challenges of enforcing rules around their use in legal settings.
