A senior Australian lawyer has issued an apology to a judge after court submissions in a murder case were found to contain fake quotes and non-existent legal judgments generated by artificial intelligence. The significant error occurred in the Supreme Court of Victoria, adding to a growing list of AI-related blunders impacting justice systems globally.
Rishi Nathwani, a defence lawyer holding the prestigious title of King’s Counsel, accepted "full responsibility" for the incorrect information submitted in the case involving a teenager charged with murder. Court documents, reviewed by The Associated Press on Friday, detailed the admission.
