Georgia Court Order Includes AI-Hallucinated Case Citations Copied from Prosecutor's Proposed Order
Reason / Volokh Conspiracy·medium signal
A Georgia court order was found to contain AI-hallucinated case citations that appear to have been copied verbatim from a prosecutor's AI-generated proposed order, per Reason's Volokh Conspiracy (13pts, 4 comments). The incident is notable because the hallucinations passed through both the prosecutor's drafting process and the judge's review without detection. This is the latest in a series of AI hallucination incidents in the US legal system — but the first with documented chain-of-custody from prosecutor draft to final signed order.
