A US judge has imposed hefty fines and other sanctions on a law firm and two lawyers for filing court papers filled with fabricated legal cases. The lawyers, Peter LoDuca and Steven Schwartz, heavily relied on artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT for their legal research. The court ordered the duo and their firm Levidow, Levidow & Oberman to pay a sum of $5,000 and inform their client and judges falsely linked to the corruption. In a federal court ruling, US District Judge P Kevin Castel noted that while it’s not illegal to use AI in legal research, lawyers remain responsible for ensuring the accuracy of their litigation filings to the court. The judge criticized the lawyers for not disclosing their mistake when opposing counsel claimed the cases were non-existent. Moreover, the lawyers continued to cling to their falsehood even after judicial orders raised doubts about their arguments.
