The original title is about AI threatening fair trials through juror use of AI during deliberations.

Short summary

Generative AI is infiltrating courtrooms through judicial use (creating factual errors) and critically, through jurors consulting AI during deliberations. When jurors ask AI chatbots legal questions, they receive confident-sounding but often hallucinated answers with false citations, fundamentally threatening trial integrity. Defense counsel should implement proactive measures: explicit AI jury instructions, citation verification, expert questioning, and preserved trial records.

• •AI-generated errors have already appeared in judicial decisions and attorney filings, undermining case integrity
• •Jurors consulting AI chatbots during deliberations receive authoritative-sounding but fabricated legal advice and citations
• •Defense counsel must proactively address AI risk through voir dire, explicit jury instructions, opposing counsel vetting, and record preservation
