Texas Judge Rejects AI in Courtroom.

A federal judge in Texas has ordered lawyers to keep AI-reliant legal briefs out of his courtroom, citing concerns over the technology's tendency to 'hallucinate' and lack of accountability for ethical requirements of practicing law. The order appears to be a first of its kind, mandating that lawyers who file documents on his docket certify the filings as either free of content produced by large language model (LLM) AI tools or as reviewed by a human for accuracy. While some legal technology executives argue that AI has been lurking in litigation for years, others caution that the ethical use of AI is not talked about enough.
