Judge Fines Mike Lindell’s Attorneys for Filing AI-Generated Motion During Defamation Case

  • U.S. District Judge Nina Wang imposed a $3,000 fine on each of the two lawyers representing Mike Lindell this week after they submitted court filings generated by artificial intelligence that contained numerous errors in his defamation lawsuit.
  • The sanction stemmed from motions containing nearly thirty defective citations, misquoting case law, and citing nonexistent cases, which Kachouroff admitted was AI-generated and unchecked.
  • Judge Wang found contradictory lawyer statements and lack of corroborating evidence unpersuasive, concluding the errors were sanction-worthy negligence, not inadvertent mistakes.
  • Wang explained that the $3,000 fines represented the mildest penalty sufficient to discourage and reprimand the defense attorneys, and highlighted that neither lawyer offered any justification for how the incorrect citations appeared without relying on AI or demonstrating serious negligence.
  • The ruling does not hold Lindell liable for the fines and suggests courts may impose penalties for AI-assisted filings failing to meet procedural obligations.
