Lawyers
Global Artificial Intelligence Group Co-Chair Katherine Forrest spoke with Law360 Pulse about escalating judicial penalties for AI errors in court filings. In “AI Errors Likely to Persist Despite Escalating Court Sanctions,” published on March 19, Katherine explains that warnings haven’t stopped attorneys from submitting filings with AI errors, so judges have begun issuing monetary sanctions.
“We’ll see it escalate even more, if attorneys don’t pay attention,” Katherine says, suggesting judges may begin referring offending attorneys to state bar disciplinary committees.
Katherine also warns attorneys against complacency when using generative AI tools and acknowledges that there is pressure from clients to be more efficient and save them money by using these tools.
“But you still have to read the cases. You still have to go through the logic. You still have to do certain things that are human tasks, which take time,” she says. “So there’s a temptation, which some attorneys are falling into, to skip that human step and hope that they don’t end up getting caught out on the hallucination end.”
