Judge Strikes Part of Anthropic (Claude.AI) Expert's Declaration, Because of Uncaught AI Hallucination in Part of Citation

Magistrate Judge Susan van Keulen in Concord Music Group , Inc. v. Anthropic PBC strikes Anthropic 's expert's declaration, striking paragraph 9 .

Anthropic lawyer: "Manual citation check" was performed but "did not catch th[e] error" But the underlying article exists, was properly linked to and was located by a human being using Google search.

The Latham & Watkins team reviewing and editing the declaration checked that the substance of the cited document supported the proposition in the declaration, but did not notice the incorrect title and authors, despite clicking on the link provided in the footnote and reviewing the article.

The insinuation that Ms. Chen 's opinion was influenced by false or fabricated information is incorrect.
