Why this matter warrants attention
The Calgary Assessment Review Board excluded three fabricated legal citations from the Complainant's rebuttal after the Complainant admitted they could not verify their authenticity. The Board ignored the citations, proceeded with the merits of the hearing, and referred the issue of potential AI-generated false citations to the Board's General Chair for further review.
The Board excluded the citations because the Complainant could not verify their existence in standard research sources and conceded they should be given no weight. The Board further noted that the submission of potentially AI-generated false citations is a grave concern requiring referral to the General Chair.
Assessment boards escalate repeat AI fakes to the General Chair — three unverifiable cites is one too many.
