A lawyer representing Michael Cohen, the former attorney for Donald Trump, is facing accusations of citing fictional court cases in legal filings. David M. Schwartz, who is working on behalf of Cohen as he seeks to end his supervised release, allegedly used the artificial intelligence program ChatGPT for research and included three non-existent rulings in his November filings. U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman stated that the cases cited by Schwartz do not exist and ordered him to provide copies of the decisions by December 19 or face sanctions. Experts have raised concerns about the use of AI in legal research, highlighting a similar incident earlier this year. This case highlights the potential pitfalls of relying on AI platforms that may not be specialized for legal research. Cohen and Schwartz have been contacted for comment.
