1
B.
The
court
suspects
that
defendant
and
counterclaim
plaintiff
used

that
the
program
may
have
“hallucinated.”
2
C.
For
the
purposes
of
this
order,
GenAI
means
models
or
tools
that
generate
new
content,
including
text,
based
upon
machine
learning
from
existing
data.
GenAI
includes,
but
is
not
limited
to,
ChatGPT,
Google
Gemini,
Microsoft
Copilot,
Meta
AI,
and
Thomas
Reuters
CoCounsel.
IT
IS
ORDERED,
this
16th
day
of

2025,
that:
1.
Any
future
court
filings
by
defendant
and
counterclaim
plaintiff
that
are
prepared
using
GenAI
must
be
accompanied
by
a
certification,
with
a
sworn
statement
by
defendant
and
counterclaim
plaintiff,
that:
a.
Confirms
GenAI
was
used
to
prepare
the
court
filing;
b.
Identifies
the
GenAI
tool,
model,
or
platform
used;
c.
Identifies
the
specific
pages,
paragraphs,
and/or
sections
of
the
court
filing
that
were
created
using
GenAI;
and

2
d.
Confirms
that
any
text
in
the
court
filing
prepared
using
GenAI
has
undergone
a
human
review
for
accuracy
and
completeness.
This
includes
confirming
that
any
citation
to
legal
authority
is
accurate
and
that
the
authority
stands
for
the
cited
provision.

“AI
hallucination
is
a
phenomenon
wherein
a
large
language
model
(LLM)--often
a
generative
AI
chatbot
or
computer
vision
tool--perceives
patterns
or
objects
that
are
nonexistent
or
imperceptible
to
human
observers,
creating
outputs
that
are
nonsensical
or
altogether
inaccurate.”
