Sullivan & Cromwell has apologized to a U.S. bankruptcy court after admitting that a filing in a case involving Prince Group contained AI-generated errors and fabricated legal citations. The firm stated that internal policies regarding AI verification were not followed.
Sullivan & Cromwell, a top Wall Street law firm, has apologized to a New York federal judge for AI-generated errors in a court filing. The firm admitted to misquoting the US bankruptcy code and incorrectly citing cases in a filing made on April 9. The errors were uncovered by rival firm Boies Schiller Flexner. The case involves liquidators from the British Virgin Islands pursuing actions against Prince Group, owned by Chinese-born businessman Chen Zhi, who faces US charges of wire fraud and money laundering related to alleged forced-labour scam compounds in Cambodia.
