Lawyers, AI, and a Friendly Reminder from the Bench

The UK’s High Court just dropped a gavel-shaped reality check on AI-loving attorneys. In a new ruling, Judge Victoria Sharp made it crystal clear: ChatGPT isn’t your new legal intern. While generative AI might serve up confident, polished legal citations, many are about as real as a unicorn on the witness stand. In two recent cases, lawyers submitted court filings riddled with fake citations, one featured 18 completely fictional cases. Judge Sharp didn’t mince words: using AI for legal research is fine, but double-check everything. Because if you don’t, you risk public shaming, court sanctions, or even a chat with the police. Courtroom drama just got... more digital.

Anthropic Adds a Security Buff to Its Brain Trust

Anthropic just took its AI-safety game up a notch by welcoming national security veteran Richard Fontaine to its long-term benefit trust, the group tasked with keeping the company’s moral compass pointed toward safety over profit. Fontaine, a former adviser to Sen. John McCain and ex-head of a major security think tank, joins a lineup of altruistic heavyweights. His arrival comes hot on the heels of Anthropic’s new AI tools built for national defense (subtle, right?). While he won’t cash in as a trustee, Fontaine’s job is to help steer Anthropic through the increasingly tangled mess of AI, ethics, and defense contracts. Because when you’re selling to the Pentagon, it helps to have someone at the table who’s been in the war room.

Quick Takes

  • Google’s AI Overviews Threaten News Publisher Traffic: Google’s AI Overviews and similar AI-powered tools are significantly reducing referral traffic to news publishers by providing users with direct answers, often sourced from news content without publisher consent, thus diminishing the need to click through to original news sites. As a result, publishers face plummeting web traffic, forcing them to explore new business models and partnerships to sustain quality journalism in an era where AI increasingly mediates information access.

  • Apple Launches Foundation Models Framework for On-Device AI: Apple has introduced the Foundation Models framework, enabling developers to integrate its AI models directly into apps for offline, on-device use, enhancing privacy and eliminating cloud API costs. With native Swift support and features like guided generation and tool calling, the framework allows developers to quickly build intelligent, privacy-centric experiences powered by Apple Intelligence across Apple devices.
