After the legal regulator, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), identified the false citations, Kumar emailed to explain and apologise. However, this email was also drafted using AI and contained further false material. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nNews Updates\nStay ahead with our three daily briefings delivering all the key market moves, top business and political stories, and incisive analysis straight to your inbox.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKumar accepted that his actions breached one of the principles and that he had failed to uphold the administration of justice. He said he deeply regretted that his “technological negligence created a risk of bringing the profession into disrepute” but denied that his actions breached public trust and confidence in the profession. He said he had no intention to mislead but simply did not have the expertise to verify the AI output.\n\nHowever, the Tribunal dismissed his excuses and ruled that the harm caused by his misconduct was high for both the immigration violation and the AI misuse. The SDT did make it clear that Kumar would have been struck off for either the immigration offence or the AI misconduct independently. It was ordered that he be struck off the register, meaning he can no longer practise law. Professional services problem with AIThis is the first time that the Tribunal has had to deal with the issue of AI hallucinations.\n\nIn May, London-headquartered law firm Pinsent Masons was criticised by a High Court judge after a lawyer sent the court AI-generated letters containing false legal information. The firm said it referred the matter to the SRA, which is currently investigating further.  The legal watchdog issued a formal warning in August about AI after receiving 42 reports of AI misuse and fake court citations, as ‘AI hallucination’ continues to plague the legal and professional services industry.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
