WASHINGTON, Sept 9 (Reuters) - An Oklahoma judge has acknowledged that a ruling he issued contained fictitious citations generated by artificial intelligence, according to state records, adding to a growing number of cases in which judges ​have faced scrutiny over AI use.

The judge, Lawrence Wheeler of the District Court of Stephens ‌County, told an investigator with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation that he used OpenAI's ChatGPT for research, and that an order he drafted contained two citations to cases that do not exist, according to an August 17 letter from a prosecutor to ​the st

The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said she ended the relationship with Officer Jason Rogers about five years ago. She said the relationship was abusive and that she changed her identity, phone number and social media habits after leaving.

This summer, she said she discovered Rogers had used the Flock camera system to search for her location while he was working for the Stow Police Department.

Attorneys for congressional candidate Rebecca Cooke have sent a cease-and-desist letter to U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R- Prairie du Chien, over Van Orden's use of deepfake videos.

Cooke, a Democrat, is challenging Van Orden this November in a closely-watched race for Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional district.

Van Orden has repeatedly used artificial intelligence to post videos to his X account, showing Cooke saying things she never said.
