Why you must verify AI-generated content in your expert report

by Sean Mosby

 

Summary

The Court excluded consideration of the expert testimony of an expert on the dangers of AI and misinformation, after he submitted an expert declaration which included fake AI-generated citations to two academic articles.

Learning points

Learning points for experts
  • Don’t use an AI tool unless you fully understand it. Consider seeking training if you are not fully confident with the tool.

  • Generative AI tools can be extremely useful for research, but it is vital to verify the information they provide.

  • Don’t assume that, because the AI generated material is in your area of expertise, you will be able to pick up any errors ‘by eye’.

  • If you haven’t already, review our article on How not to use AI in expert evidence and listen to our podcast on AI and the Expert Witness.

  • Be cautious in citing an academic article that you haven’t read.

Learning points for instructing parties
  • Ask the experts you instruct if, and if so how, they intend to use AI in preparing their expert evidence.
