On Monday, Brazilian authorities confirmed they are investigating a federal judge who made mistakes in a ruling that was written using artificial intelligence, stating it was the first such case in the country.

The National Justice Council (CNJ), an oversight body for the courts, summoned Judge Jefferson Rodrigues to explain how he came to publish a decision strewn with legal errors formulated by the online AI tool ChatGPT.

Rodrigues, a judge in the northern state of Acre, included incorrect details on previous court cases & legal precedent in his ruling, wrongly attributing past decisions to the superior court of justice.

The judge said the ruling was written by a "trusted advisor," with help from AI. He called the situation a "mere mistake," blaming "the work overload facing judges."
