‘Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has accelerated the production of scholarly text, images, and analytic outputs, while simultaneously destabilising long-standing cues used to infer human authorship and scholarly accountability. As a result, manuscripts increasingly arrive with unclear boundaries between human contribution, tool-assisted editing, and tool-generated content, and these distinctions are rarely made explicit. This creates a…

‘I sometimes wonder whether readers are growing weary of discussions about AI hallucinations in legal work. As of today, we have close to 900 reported cases worldwide and today I will be discussing three more. In the UK alone there are now 37 recorded incidents (with some more to write up shortly). I remain concerned…
