80% of Korean judges see AI fake precedents: survey

A Supreme Court survey released Monday found that about 80% of judges handling civil, family and administrative cases have encountered court cases citing false or nonexistent legal precedents generated by artificial intelligence. The survey, conducted by the court administration office from Oct. 6 for 10 days among 360 judges nationwide, showed such instances appeared not only from parties themselves but also in documents submitted by lawyers, Yonhap and Dong-A Ilbo report. The Korea Times and Yonhap both reported that eight in 10 judges experienced these AI-generated fake precedents, marking the first such survey by the Supreme Court. Korean media coverage focuses on the prevalence of the problem, with Chosun Ilbo noting that about 80% of judges in these case types reported the experience, and that multiple instances were confirmed in lawyer-submitted filings as well.
