Judge Won't Sanction Michael Cohen for AI-Generated Fake Legal Citations

A Manhattan judge declined to impose sanctions on Michael D. Cohen, the onetime fixer for former President Donald J. Trump, after he mistakenly gave his lawyer fake legal citations concocted by Google Bard, an artificial intelligence program, for a motion the lawyer was preparing on Mr. Cohen’s behalf. The lawyer, David M. Schwartz, cited the bogus cases in his motion, which was filed in Federal District Court.
