Researchers Create Tool to Detect AI-Hallucinated Legal Citations

As more legal documents are drafted with large language models (LLMs), falsified citations are becoming a problem for the people who rely on them. Georgia Tech researchers have created a tool to help lawyers verify their work.

Through a donation from IBM, Georgia Tech’s Center for Scientific Software Engineering (CSSE) and Open Source Program Office (OSPO) held a fellowship competition for students to work with mentors at CSSE and OSPO to create the tool. Master’s students Adrian Lozada and Di Wu were selected as fellows to work on the project.
