A federal judge in Mississippi cancelled a trial and disqualified all four lawyers in a contractual dispute case after discovering both sides used artificial intelligence to prepare their filings, with attorneys citing nonexistent hallucinated cases. Judge Sharion Aycock imposed fines between $1,000 and $3,500 on each lawyer and barred two from appearing before the court for two years.
