U.S. lawyer cited for contempt after including AI-made false testimony in appeal brief
The New Mexico Supreme Court sanctioned a criminal defence lawyer for submitting an appeal brief that included false testimony and witnesses generated by ChatGPT. The court said the issue was not the use of AI itself, but that the lawyer signed and filed the document without verifying the output. It ordered him to pay $5,000 to a state bar client protection fund, referred him for discipline and barred him from appearing before the court pending proceedings.

U.S. senators press to stop CFTC encroachment on state oversight of prediction markets
Seventeen Democratic U.S. senators asked the Senate to prevent the Commodity Futures Trading Commission from using federal funds for lawsuits involving prediction markets. They urged appropriators to block spending on litigation against state gaming regulators. The lawmakers said Chairman Michael Selig is asserting exclusive CFTC authority and infringing on state powers by treating event contracts as swaps. They warned the approach could let online prediction markets bypass state consumer protection and oversight.
