When “good enough” isn’t good enough.
As of June 2026, U.S. courts have documented more than 1,600 cases of AI-fabricated citations in legal filings — and the count climbs by five to six new ones every day. The fallout is no longer theoretical: a federal judge dismissed a case outright and barred the attorneys from appearing for two years, and one of Wall Street’s most elite firms apologized in writing to a federal judge after AI invented citations in a court filing.
And it isn’t only lawyers cutting corners. A Columbia University researcher who has studied AI for fifteen years watched a fabricated citation slip into his own peer-reviewed paper:
“I was mortified… if it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone.”
