The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has warned that a lawyer’s use of artificial intelligence in an $82 million lawsuit over a subway injury in New York City could jeopardize the case. The decision follows a complaint that the attorney relied on an AI‑generated legal brief, raising concerns about accuracy and ethical obligations. The court emphasized that while AI tools can aid research, they must not replace human judgment, especially in high‑stakes litigation. The ruling serves as a cautionary note for attorneys nationwide about the limits of AI in courtroom strategy.
