Trump’s ex-lawyer Cohen admits incorrect use of AI in court Permission missing: trains between Brig US and Italy are partially canceled

Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen admitted in court that he used artificial intelligence to generate false information and passed it on to his lawyer. The 57-year-old used the Google chatbot Bard to find documents for a lawsuit in New York that the software created. This is evident from newly released documents from the federal court in Manhattan in which Cohen justifies his behavior.

Cohen told the court in an affidavit released Friday that he did not know Google Bard was a text generator similar to ChatGPT. Cohen admitted his mistake after the judge in the case asked for an explanation of a total of three cited issues that he could not find.

Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to violations regarding the spending of campaign donations for Trump and was sentenced to three years in prison, but was allowed to serve part of the sentence under house arrest due to the corona pandemic. The incorrect information was now found in Cohen’s request to the court to hear the case.

It remains to be seen whether the episode will have any impact on a lawsuit currently underway against former President Donald Trump. Cohen testified there as a key witness and has been repeatedly portrayed as unreliable by the Trump defense.

The new AI programs have enormous capabilities, but the way they are programmed makes them prone to ‘hallucinating’ assumed facts. Even before Cohen, there had been cases of lawyers who wanted to make their jobs easier with AI chatbots but ended up providing incorrect information. (sda/dpa)
