Two U.S. federal judges have acknowledged that members of their staff used artificial intelligence tools to help draft recent court rulings - documents later criticized for containing factual errors.
The admission came in response to an inquiry by U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, who sought explanations after lawyers flagged inaccuracies in the rulings.
In letters released on Thursday, Judge Henry Wingate of Mississippi and Judge Julien Xavier Neals of New Jersey said their staff had used AI tools - including OpenAI's ChatGPT and Perplexity - without proper authorization or disclosure.
