The judge rejected the defense documents because they were partly written by artificial intelligence

In the court in the province of Ontario in Canada, the judge rejected the documents prepared by a lawyer in a criminal case, because they were edited by artificial intelligence – Canadian media reported.

Defense documents in the assault case were rejected a few days ago by judge Joseph F. Kenkel. The judge ordered the defender's re -preparation of documents because Among the cited references, he found, among others A case that never happened. “Errors are numerous and relevant,” cited the public sender of the CBC. The judge emphasized that AI tools cannot be used to prepare matters.

“One of the cited inquiry seems to be fictitious. The court was unable to find any case with such a signature,” the judge quoted the Judge Toronto Sun.

Judge Kenkel, who has been dealing with technology in the courts for years, was appointed four years ago technology advisor in legal matters in Ontar courts. He participates in work on the digital transformation of the Ontario provinces and discussions about AI in the judiciary and legal circulation – says the website of Manitoba Law Library.

In May this year In the court in Toronto, the judge realized during the divorce case that the documents appeared in the so -called AI hallucinations, with references to fictitious matters – said “Toronto Sun”.

CBC reported that the French lawyer Damien Charlotin created an international court of court cases, in which the problem of AI hallucinations, i.e. fictitious matters and references created by AI. There are 137 cases from different countries on the list.

The first Canadian case, however, was not a divorce case from Toronto, but the case of February last year, in which the judge punished the lawyer for including information on fictitious cases in documents, emphasizing that AI tools cannot replace professional knowledge and competences – CBC cited.
