Lawyer Cites Fake ChatGPT-Invented Witnesses in Murder Appeal
Original: Lawyer Cites ChatGPT-Invented Fake Witnesses in Murder Appeal https:// lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/76516596
A lawyer appealing a murder conviction has cited witnesses that do not exist, apparently invented by ChatGPT, raising new concerns about the use of AI tools in legal work. The case has drawn attention to the risks of relying on chatbots without verifying their output, following a string of incidents where courts sanctioned lawyers for submitting fabricated AI-generated citations and evidence.
Why now: It adds to ongoing concerns about lawyers trusting generative AI without fact-checking, potentially affecting a serious criminal case
