Top Law Firm Apologizes to Bankruptcy Judge for AI Hallucination

One of Wall Street’s prominent law firms, Sullivan & Cromwell, wrote to a bankruptcy judge to apologize for a court motion that included inaccurate citations generated by artificial intelligence, according to a filing in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

In the April 18 apology, Andrew Dietderich, founder and co-head of Sullivan’s restructuring group, said the firm had been made aware of errors in an emergency motion filed in the bankruptcy of Prince Global Holdings.
