Two attorneys are facing possible punishment over a filing in a lawsuit against an airline that included references to past court cases that they thought were real, but were actually invented by the artificial intelligence-powered chatbot.
NEW YORK — Two apologetic lawyers responding to an angry judge in Manhattan federal court blamed Attorneys Steven A. Schwartz and Peter LoDuca are facing possible punishment over a filing in a lawsuit against an airline that included references to past court cases that Schwartz thought were real, but were actually invented by the artificial intelligence-powered chatbot.
Judge Castel seemed both baffled and disturbed at the unusual occurrence and disappointed the lawyers did not act quickly to correct the bogus legal citations when they were first alerted to the problem by Avianca’s lawyers and the court. Avianca pointed out the bogus case law in a March filing. He said that he and the firm where he worked — Levidow, Levidow & Oberman — had put safeguards in place to ensure nothing similar happens again.
He said lawyers have historically had a hard time with technology, particularly new technology, “and it’s not getting easier.”
