Burroughs said existing laws and constitutional protections are \u2018not keeping up, never have kept up and never will keep up\u2019 with the speed of innovation.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Anotherpart\">Another part of the IAPP report stated that Boasberg referred to a case in which lawyers submitted filings containing hallucinatory information generated through AI use. According to the report, he required that side to pay attorney\u2019s fees to the other side as a sanction after discovering that AI had been used in the briefs.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Boasbergnoted\">Boasberg noted at the IAPP session: \u2018I\u2019m sure lawyers using AI is happening a lot more on the state level, and some judges are referring lawyers to state bars (for possible discipline), but there have been federal judges whose opinions included hallucinatory (citations) and that was obviously embarrassing for them.\u2019 He added: \u2018The question is how can it help without compromising privacy issues, sealed cases; there\u2019s just a whole lot that we have to figure out, but I think judges are trying to learn how we can use this constructively.\u2019<\/p>\n<p id=\"Burroughsalso\">Burroughs also remarked at the IAPP event that judges want disclosure when lawyers use AI in filings. She said: \u2018We want lawyers to tell us when they\u2019ve used AI. They can use it, but they have to disclose it.\u2019 She added: \u2018They can use AI, they can\u2019t use AI, they must disclose when they\u2019re using it, they have to certify that they do citation checks to make sure they&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dig.watch\/updates\/iapp-global-summit-ai-privacy-courts\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IAPP Global Summit session examines AI, privacy, and the courts with US federal judges https:\/\/dig.watch\/updates\/iapp-global-summit-ai-privacy-courts&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":232124,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/diplo-media.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com\/2026\/04\/iapp-global-summit-ai-privacy-courts.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[173],"class_list":["post-232123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-privacy","tag-iapp"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232123"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=232123"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232123\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":232125,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232123\/revisions\/232125"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/232124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=232123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=232123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=232123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
