In July, I wrote about Judge Julien Xavier Neals of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, who withdrew an opinion that used generative AI. Judge Henry T. Wingate of the Southern District of Mississippi likewise withdrew an opinion that used generative AI. Both opinions included made-up citations, which were obvious hallucinations.
Senator Chuck Grassley, the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote to both Neals and Wingate.
Both judges wrote to Judge Robert Conrad, the Director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.
