Elite law firm Sullivan & Cromwell has apologized to New York federal judge Martin Glenn for submitting a court filing with inaccurate citations and other errors generated by artificial intelligence. In a letter dated April 18, Andrew Dietderich, co-head of the firm’s global restructuring group, said the filing contained multiple “hallucinations” made by AI software. Boies Schiller Flexner – which is also involved in the case – spotted the errors in the filing, Dietderich wrote in the letter to Glenn, chief judge of the U.S. ?Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. “I apologize on behalf of our entire team. I also called Boies Schiller Flexner ?LLP on Friday to thank them for bringing this matter to our attention and to apologize directly to them ?as well,” Dietderich wrote.
