American Bar Association explores the legal and ethical risks posed by “AI hallucinations”—fabricated or inaccurate information produced by generative AI systems. The article highlights growing concern among legal professionals about relying on AI tools in litigation, especially when outputs are assumed to be factual but are not.

It emphasizes the need for rigorous human oversight, verification protocols, and perhaps new evidentiary standards for content generated by AI. Legal practitioners are urged to understand AI limitations and ensure that clients, courts, and colleagues are not misled by persuasive but false content.

The discussion also extends to potential disciplinary actions and liability for lawyers who submit AI-generated but inaccurate materials in court filings.
