Two New York lawyers have been fined $5,000 for unknowingly using fictitious case citations generated by OpenAI’s chatGPT in their legal brief. Steven Schwartz and Peter LoDuca, partners at Levidow, Levidow & Oberman, were accused of acting in bad faith and creating false and misleading statements to the court. The judge acknowledged that using AI for legal assistance is not inherently improper but emphasised that attorneys must serve as gatekeepers and ensure the accuracy and reliability of their filings. Generative AI models, including OpenAI’s chatGPT, Microsoft’s Bing AI and Google’s Bard, have been known to generate false information with confidence, a phenomenon referred to as hallucinations. Instances of AI models producing false information have raised concerns, especially in fields like law and medicine.
