English court warned lawyers about sanctions for fake AI citations
The High Court of England and Wales issued a crucial warning — lawyers may face serious sanctions for using fake citations generated by artificial intelligence.
In a landmark decision, Judge Victoria Sharp emphasized that generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT, I quote “are not capable of conducting reliable legal research”. She noted that such tools can create externally coherent and plausible answers that upon examination turn out to be completely incorrect, making confident statements that don’t correspond to reality.
In one of the examined cases, a lawyer presented a document with 45 citations, of which 18 referred to non-existent cases. In another case, a lawyer cited 5 non-existent court decisions. Although the court decided not to initiate contempt of court proceedings, Judge Sharp warned that this “is not a precedent”.
This decision has been transmitted to professional bodies, including the Bar Council and Law Society, to strengthen control over compliance with lawyers’ professional obligations to the court in the era of artificial intelligence.

For 5 years I have been working with machine learning and artificial intelligence. And this field never ceases to amaze, inspire and interest me.
Google company released a report on Health AI Agents of 150 pages. That's 7,000 annotations, over 1,100 hours of expert work. Link in description. Numbers impressive, yes. But the point isn't in metrics. The point is they buried the very idea of an omnipotent AI doctor. And this is perhaps the most honest thing that happened in this industry recently.
You know what's considered a fun prank among teenagers now? Sending parents a photo of a homeless vagrant in their own living room. AI draws it, TikTok approves it, and let parents have hysteria. That's the kind of fun going around social media.
California became the first state to officially shut up AI companion chatbots. Governor Gavin Newsom signed a historic law that requires operators of such bots to implement safety protocols.
Elon Musk decided his artificial intelligence got bored without work. And now xAI company will engage in creating virtual worlds. Moreover, not just beautiful pictures, but real simulations. Where objects interact with each other according to physical laws. They'll start, of course, with games - where would we be without them in 2025.
Imagine. A plane crashed, everyone died except one person. The worst aviation disaster in 10 years. And here 2 engineers from India say they figured out how to prevent this. Giant airbags controlled by artificial intelligence that will wrap a falling plane in a protective cocoon. Sounds like science fiction? And they're already nominated for the James Dyson Award.
