Radio New Zealand reports that a judge mocked a lawyer whose appeal filing was full of AI-generated fake "witnesses." The lawyer cited multiple witness names and testimonies fabricated by AI in the appeal documents; these individuals do not exist. In the ruling, the judge noted that such conduct severely undermines the credibility of judicial proceedings and may result in penalties for the lawyer. The incident reflects the risks of generative AI misuse in the legal profession, including fabricated citations and invented facts. The case is a typical example of AI hallucination causing real harm in the legal field, prompting courts to strengthen scrutiny of AI-generated content.
