The Connecticut Supreme Court confronted the reliability of AI‑generated evidence, focusing on the risk of hallucinations that blur fact from fiction. Justice Ecker warned that AI makes truth verification increasingly difficult. The justices examined recent filings that relied on AI research and questioned whether such outputs satisfy traditional evidentiary standards. The court’s stance may set a precedent for how AI tools are vetted before entering the courtroom.
