8 in 10 Korean judges see AI fake precedents in court
A Supreme Court survey released Monday found that about 80% of active judges have received documents containing fake or nonexistent legal precedents generated by artificial intelligence during trials. The survey, conducted by the Court Administration Office last month among 360 judges at courts nationwide, showed that roughly 80% of judges handling civil, family, and administrative cases reported experiencing citations of incorrect or fabricated precedents, according to Yonhap and Chosun Ilbo. This is the first time the Supreme Court has conducted such a fact-finding survey on the issue. Korean media coverage focuses on the scale of the problem, with Yonhap reporting that 8 out of 10 judges have encountered AI-generated fake precedents, while the Korea Times notes the survey was released by the Supreme Court on Monday.
