South Korea's Supreme Court released a survey of 360 judges conducted in October showing that approximately 80% have encountered court cases citing false or nonexistent legal precedents generated by AI. The survey examined the growing problem of "AI hallucination"—instances where AI models present fabricated information as factual. Both Korea Times and The Korea Herald reported identical findings from the official Supreme Court data, indicating widespread concern about AI-generated misinformation in judicial proceedings.
