80% of Korean judges have encountered AI-generated fake legal precedents
Eight in 10 South Korean judges have experienced court cases in which false or nonexistent legal precedents generated by artificial intelligence were cited, according to a survey by the Supreme Court released Monday. The survey, conducted by the Supreme Court Administration last month among 360 judges across all levels, found that approximately 80% of civil, family, and administrative judges reported instances where they applied incorrect precedents or cited non-existent ones created by AI. One judge noted that a lawyer cited a fake case number generated by AI as a reference for a Supreme Court precedent, highlighting the seriousness of the issue.
