Two New York lawyers have been fined $5,000, a legal first, for using fake research created by OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT for a submission in an injury claim against Avianca airline. Attorneys Steven Schwartz and Peter LoDuca had represented Roberto Mata who claimed his knee was injured when he was struck by a metal serving cart on an Avianca flight from El Salvador to Kennedy International Airport in New York in 2019. Schwartz submitted a 10-page legal brief, featuring six relevant court decisions, half of which did not exist. Judge Kevin Castel said the lawyers acted in bad faith by relying on ChatGPT’s submissions, even after judicial orders questioned their authenticity. Schwartz and LoDuca were fined as attorneys are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of any submissions, including those created using AI. Castel added that ChatGPT was a reliable artificial intelligence tool for assistance, but existing rules impose a gatekeeping role on attorneys to ensure the accuracy of their filings.
