2026-06-11
3M-retained expert Josh Autenrieth reportedly submitted an expert report substantially generated with ChatGPT after prompting it to show 3M was "0% at fault" for a 2020 Houston industrial explosion that killed three people and destroyed roughly 200 homes. Plaintiffs were thereby presented with purported expert evidence substantially drafted toward a requested conclusion by an AI system, prompting extensive discovery and trial scrutiny.
