Six AI-hallucinated judgments formed the basis for the Supreme Court's striking down of an order passed by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on Thursday.

Three of the cited judgments did not exist, while the remaining three either did not contain the propositions attributed to them or did not correspond to the context for which they were cited.

For instance, the NCLT order cited a 2019 judgment ICICI Bank Ltd v Urban Infrastructure Real Estate Ltd., which did not exist. Along with it, the 2021 case V S Dempo & Co Ltd v Reliance Communications Ltd and the 2022 case Sarbjit Singh v Unio

WASHINGTON - Maria believed she was romancing a prince from Dubai, captivated by his flirtatious smile and declarations of affection he showered on her during live video calls. But the suitor was an AI deepfake, making her yet another victim of an online romance scam.

The case illustrates how fraudsters posing as the real-life crown prince of Dubai ensnare victims by cultivating online relationships before swindling them out of money, with researchers tracing some of the scams to crime syndicates in Nigeria.

Maria met the scammer impersonating Prince Hamdan bin Mohammed, also known by his pe

WASHINGTON, June 3 (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Wednesday sanctioned two lawyers for filing briefs riddled with nonexistent cases it said were AI-generated, rejected their claims ​that the errors were typographical mistakes and warned all legal professionals to ‌quickly admit if an error in a court document stemmed from failing to catch an AI "hallucination."

Here are the details:

For the past 14 years, Spokane residents learned about upcoming sales and promotions at locally owned Fred's Appliance through the voice and smiling face of Amber George.

But in February, George noticed on social media that Fred's, and production company Victory Media, had created a President's Day advertisement, which of course, featured her.

"Wait a minute, I didn't film this," George said this week, recalling her reaction upon seeing the spot. "They were using past footage and bits and pieces from different commercials. They cloned my voice.

"It was really like a shock," she continued. "

blockclubchicago.org2026-07-04

WEST TOWN — In what’s either a mea culpa, a bit of clever marketing or maybe both, a company whose food delivery robot smashed through the glass at a West Town bus shelter last month is now running an apology ad — at the very same bus shelter.

In late March, a vehicle operated by Serve Robotics, one of two companies deploying food delivery robots in parts of Chicago, ran into the bus shelter on Grand Avenue in West Town, sending shattered glass across the sidewalk.

Not to be outdone, a robot operated by Coco, the other company operating the r
