< img src = "/uploads/blogs/96/06/ib-FQHR3KQ30_63b746.jpg" Alt = "in the US lawyer can be fined $ 15 thousand for use of AI when submitting documents"/> ~ ~ < p > in the United States Federal Judge in the Southern District Indiana recommended a fine of $ 15,000 on a lawyer who referred to non-existent court cases, invented chatbot based /p > < p > In the report submitted last week, Judge Mark J. Dinsmore recommends to fine Raphael Rafael Raphais for $ 15,000 for his violation & mdash; $ 5,000 for each of the three statements submitted by Ramirez, in which he was unable to properly check the validity and accuracy of the precedent law to which he referred in court and lawyer of the opposite party.

~ ~ ~ < p >< Br /> Back October 29 2024 Ramirez in its short statement quoted three non -existent cases. < /p > < p >In December, Dinsmore ordered Ramirez to appear in court and explain why he should not be subjected to sanctions.

< p > & laquo; rearrangement of numbers in a quote, incorrect date of date or incorrect writing of the side of the side is a mistake.

< p > Reference to a case that simply does not exist, & mdash; This is quite different. Mr Ramirez does not give any hints to explain how a quote from a fully fictional case is in his note. The most obvious explanation is that Mr Ramirez used the artificial intelligence generation tool to make a note and did not check the quotes contained in it before serving it & raquo ;, & mdash; Wrote a judge.

< P >< Br /> it is stated that Ramirez has admitted that he relied on programs that use generative artificial intelligence, to draw up reports. < /p > < p > & laquo; Mr. Ramirez explained that he had already used AI earlier to assist in legal matters such as compiling agreements, and did not know that AI was able to generate fictitious cases and quotes & raquo; & ; mdash; It is in Dinsmore's report

< p > Dinsmore noted that although the punishment he recommended & laquo; stands at the highest level of sanctions that were previously applied for similar behavior, stated by Mr. Ramirez's ignorance the tendency of artificial intelligence tools that he used, & hallucinated & raquo; Judicial data is evidence that these softer sanctions were insufficient & raquo;.
