Expert Witness to ChatGPT: "Show how 3M is 0 percent at fault"
What happened
An expert witness hired by 3M used ChatGPT to draft a legal report that claimed the company was 0 percent at fault for a deadly explosion, then submitted that AI‑generated document as part of the company’s defense in a lawsuit. The incident shows how quickly lawyers and consultants are turning to large language models to produce persuasive, seemingly authoritative legal arguments, even when the content may be inaccurate or biased.
Why it matters
The case highlights the risk of AI‑generated evidence being used in court without proper vetting, prompting calls for stricter disclosure rules and professional standards around AI assistance in legal work.
Is this a big deal?
