Why this matter warrants attention
The Appeal Panel dismissed the appellant's appeal after finding her AI-generated submissions were unreliable, contained fabricated citations, and failed to comply with mandatory verification requirements under NCAT Procedural Direction 7 regarding the use of generative AI.
Fabricated: Case Law | Amended Grounds contained non-existent or incorrect case citations produced by generative AI; the Appeal Panel noted these authorities were inaccurate and unverified. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Amended Grounds included incorrect summaries and propositions attributed to real cases (misstatements of authority) generated by AI; respondent described examples as 'fraudulent' and the panel found the references unreliable.
Tribunals will disregard AI-drafted grounds wholesale when the filer cannot verify authorities.
