US EditionMistake-filled legal briefs show the limits of relying on AI tools at work
Exdrog was disqualified for submitting a 15.5 million zloty bid with AI-generated false legal citations, misleading the Provincial Roads Authority, the National Appeal Chamber confirmed.
- On October 27, 2025, the National Appeal Chamber ordered the Provincial Roads Authority to exclude Exdrog, construction firm, from a road-maintenance tender in Małopolska province.
- KIO said the bid relied on explanations citing non-existent tax rulings and concluded Exdrog failed to verify artificial intelligence information, misleading the contracting authority.
- In the tender, Exdrog's lowest bid of 15.5 million zloty included a 280-page explanation, while rival bidder Mika’s representative Jarosław Sroka argued AI was used in the bid documentation.
- Exdrog's CEO Krystian Barczyk responded that the KIO ruling lacked detailed reasons and did not mention AI use, claiming the bid was rejected for being abnormally low and the firm may appeal after receiving written justification.
- The episode has intensified debate about AI in procurement, noting that AI 'hallucinations' appear in at least 490 court filings, while only 5.9% of Polish firms use AI tools, sparking regulatory discussion.
