University professor's book recalled over AI-fabricated court cases
Original: AIもとに架空の判例を記載 琉球大学教授の著書が絶版・回収 「研究者としてあるまじき失態」とお詫び（RBC琉球放送） – Yahoo!ニュース https://www. yayafa.com/2907114/ # AgenticAi # A
A University of the Ryukyus professor has apologized after an academic book he authored was found to cite fabricated court precedents apparently generated by AI. The publisher has pulled the book from circulation and made it out of print. The professor described the error as an inexcusable failure for a researcher and issued a formal apology.
Why now: The case is being discussed as a cautionary example of the risks of relying on AI-generated content in academic work.
