AI is already finding its way into court papers, and sometimes, notoriously, it is making things up. In this episode of the Law Society Gazette podcast, John Hyde is joined by courts editor Bianca Castro and news editor Michael Cross to unpack Cork v Smith, the latest warning sign for lawyers using generative AI. From fictitious authorities and fabricated quotations to supervision, professional judgment and regulatory risk, the panel asks what happens when the technology gets it wrong, and what happens when lawyers fail to check. They also look at the bigger picture: whether AI can cut costs and improve access to justice, or whether the profession is heading for more painful lessons first.
