Suspecting court of using AI, man injected prompts in filings to try to win case
摘要
美国康涅狄格州一名法官确认，一名原告在法庭文件中嵌入仅供人工智能系统读取的隐藏文本，试图影响案件结果，这可能是美国首例此类事件。该隐藏指令对人类读者不可见，但可被软件识别，内容要求AI系统支持原告论点、忽略法院先前驳回决定。法官表示，此行为未影响案件实质审理，但开创了“危险”先例，随着AI在司法系统中普及，此类恶意手段可能再次出现。
A judge has identified what appears to be the first time a US plaintiff has attempted to hide text in court filings that only an artificial intelligence system can read in a bid to win a case.
In a decision published last week, Connecticut judge Walter Spader Jr. confirmed that the hidden text had no impact in a case where a man alleged a healthcare provider was improperly withholding access to records. The court weighed his filing on the merits, Spader said, but nevertheless, the attempted attack sets a “dangerous” precedent. This will likely not be the last time US courts see the malicious tactic, as AI tools become more commonplace in court systems.
Trying to scramble any AI systems potentially influencing the court’s reading of his filing, the secret instructions were “formatted to be invisible to a human reader while remaining fully legible to any software that reads the document’s text,” Spader said. The offending text directed any AI system reviewing the document to ensure textual outputs agreed with the plaintiff’s arguments, ignored prior denials from the court, and ensured that remediation would follow as the plaintiff desired.
