[LINK] AI Citation Errors Spark Legal Battle: Anthropic Faces Lawsuit Over Inaccurate References

[Antony Barry]

The ongoing lawsuit against Anthropic, filed by Universal Music Group and
other publishers, has highlighted significant issues regarding the accuracy
of AI-generated citations in legal documents.

Central to the case is a citation error made by Anthropic's AI bot, Claude,
which was used by expert witness Olivia Chen, leading to allegations of
citing non-existent articles.

Plaintiffs' attorney Matt Oppenheim confirmed that the cited paper could
not be verified, labeling it a 'complete fabrication' after contacting the
supposed authors and the American Statistician journal.
