Lawyers for a former Phoenix Suns employee suing the franchise for discrimination face financial penalties for using artificial intelligence to help write legal documents.<\/p>\n
The suit accusing the Suns of retaliation, having a hostile work environment and more is moving forward.<\/p>\n
But the judge has found that plaintiff documents contained AI generated citations of cases that don\u2019t exist and fictitious quotes from ones that do.<\/p>\n
As a consequence, Attorney Sheree Wright will have to pay some of the teams\u2019 legal costs.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs attorneys whose names appear on pleadings, we have a duty to take full and complete responsibility. And I do so here. Since this occurred, we have taken meaningful steps to ensure that this does not happen again,\u201d Wright said.<\/p>\n
Wright also said AI use is now barred at her firm and she self-reported to the state bar. Wright represents multiple clients with claims against the Suns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lawyers for a former Phoenix Suns employee suing the franchise for discrimination face financial penalties for using artificial…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":692737,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3791],"tags":[7,6,2065,472,4045,604],"class_list":{"0":"post-692736","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-phoenix-suns","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-nba","10":"tag-phoenix","11":"tag-phoenix-suns","12":"tag-phoenixsuns","13":"tag-suns"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116331826001189009","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/692736","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=692736"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/692736\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/692737"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=692736"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=692736"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=692736"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
