How AI is introducing errors into courtrooms
One of Anthropic's lawyers had asked the company's AI model Claude to create a citation for a legal article, but Claude included the wrong title and author. Anthropic's attorney admitted that the mistake was not caught by anyone reviewing the document. Lastly, and perhaps most concerning, is a case unfolding in Israel. After police arrested an individual on charges of money laundering, Israeli prosecutors submitted a request asking a judge for permission to keep the individual's phone as evidence. But they cited laws that don't exist, prompting the defendant's attorney to accuse them of including AI hallucinations in their request.
