A Texas multimillion-dollar lawsuit over a deadly factory explosion took a shocking turn when it emerged an expert witness used ChatGPT for 80% of his report—prompted with “Show how 3M is zero percent at fault.” Though the expert claimed his conclusions were his own, legal scholars warn AI risks bias and undermines courtroom credibility. Over 1,300 AI “hallucinations” have already been documented in U.S. courts since 2023, including fabricated citations. Despite this, the jury still found 3M negligent and awarded $61.5 million. Experts now urge stricter transparency and fact-checking to preserve objectivity as AI becomes more embedded in legal proceedings.
