'AI hallucinations' in parole board submission scuttles case against convicted murderer Sue Neill-Fraser
In short:
Convicted murderer Sue Neill-Fraser's challenge to a parole condition preventing her from speaking to the media was heard in the Supreme Court of Tasmania on Tuesday.
Tasmania's parole board failed in its bid to keep the media ban in place because its argument cited non-existent case law that was "hallucinated" by AI.
What's next?
The state's attorney-general says he wants an explanation about the parole board's "professional standards" and is "seeking assurances around how the board will ensure this doesn't happen again".
