Really?

“You cited what?”

A trial court in Georgia, just issued a ruling based on hallucinated A.I. case law—complete with fake citations, zero verification, and no pushback until the case hit the appeals court.

It gets worse: on appeal, both parties cited 12 more non-existent cases. This isn’t just a glitch. It’s a systemic failure.

No safeguards. No checks. No balance. Just fabricated precedent shaping real-world outcomes.

Legal professionals—judges, attorneys, ops leaders: Are we witnessing a breakdown in the rule of law, or sleepwalking into a future where legal reasoning is outsourced to black-box models?

This is a leadership crisis. If we don’t assert control now, we risk letting machines invent the law—and that’s not justice.
