佛罗里达州上诉法院周三将一名律师移交给佛罗里达州律师协会，以接受可能的职业纪律处分，此前该法院发现，她在一起案件中的提交文件带有生成式人工智能输出的特征，法官小组称之为“AI垃圾”。在一份简短的命令中，位于西棕榈滩的第四地区上诉法院驳回了律师杰奎琳·索罗卡的论点，即她不应因在一起家庭法案件中的提交文件而受到制裁。
A Florida appeals court on Wednesday referred a lawyer to the Florida bar for possible professional discipline after finding her filings in a case bore hallmarks of generative AI output that the panel of judges called “AI slop.”In a brief order, the West Palm Beach-based 4th District Court of Appeal rejected arguments by the attorney, Jaclyn Soroka, that she should not be sanctioned over her filings in a family law case.
该命令与一系列关于律师涉嫌滥用人工智能的制裁裁决有所不同，其中大多数裁决涉及律师未经核实就将编造或虚假的人工智能生成材料纳入法庭文件。
The order differs from others in a wave of sanctions rulings regarding lawyers' alleged misuse of AI, most of which have concerned the inclusion of made-up or false AI-generated material in court filings that a lawyer failed to verify.
在佛罗里达州案件中，上诉法院去年9月指示索罗卡说明，为何不应根据其提交文件的整体风格和内容对她进行制裁。法院称，她违反了律师展示独立专业判断的义务，形容她的提交文件过于冗长、缺乏重点，并包含看似由人工智能制作的“胡言乱语”。
In the Florida case, the appeals court in September directed Soroka to explain why she should not be sanctioned based on the overall style and content of her submissions. It said she ran afoul of an attorney’s duty to show independent professional judgment, describing her filings as excessively long, unfocused and containing "gibberish" that appeared to be crafted by AI.
索罗卡“不否认使用人工智能，但回避问题，试图为我们先前意见中讨论的无聊论点辩护”，法官小组在周三的命令中表示。法院称，“律师对其签署的诉状承担责任，并不免除其对诉状内容的责任。”索罗卡未立即回应置评请求。她否认在案件中提交了无聊材料。
Soroka “does not deny using AI but evades the issue and attempts to defend the frivolous arguments discussed in our prior opinion,” the panel said in Wednesday’s order. The court said that “a lawyer taking responsibility for a pleading she signed does not relieve the lawyer of responsibility for the pleading’s contents.”Soroka did not immediately respond to a request for comment. She has denied submitting frivolous material in the case.
“我的引用是真实的，我的案件是存在的，我的语言充满自信，因为记录支持这一点，”索罗卡对法院表示。“我提交的每一个字都是我阅读过、判断过、与来源核实过并采纳为我自己的字。”她承认，下级法院程序中的一份文件包含对先前案件的虚假引述。她将其归因于人为失误和时间压力。
“My citations are real, my cases exist, and my language is confident because the record supports it,” Soroka told the court. "Every word I file is a word I have read, judged, verified against its source, and adopted as my own." She acknowledged that a filing in the lower court proceeding contained a false quotation to a prior case. She cited human error and time pressures.
自首起因AI生成错误而遭美国法院制裁的案件以来，过去三年中承认粗心使用AI的律师人数不断增加。AI错误如今已出现在法院判决书、专家证词和检察官的简报中。
The number of attorneys admitting they used AI carelessly has grown in the three years since the first US court sanction over AI-generated errors. AI errors have now shown up in court opinions, expert testimony and prosecutors' briefs.
