AI-related case
Mullins v. Duquesne University of the Holy Spirit
Defendants argued the pro se plaintiff's brief contained AI-generated inaccuracies, improper citations, and unintelligible phrasing suggesting reliance on generative AI. Plaintiff certified he used Anthropic's Claude for drafting and editing but not for generating citations or quotations. The Court reviewed cited examples (Phillips; Max's Seafood; Twombly; PBGC), found no fabricated or non-existent authorities and concluded the citations, while sometimes inapt or confusing, did not constitute sanctionable AI hallucinations. The motion to strike was denied and no sanctions were imposed.
