A Jacksonville Sheriff's Office deputy used AI facial recognition to match a car-theft suspect to a Charlotte man, who was held a month in North Carolina and almost two in Florida, though time sheets showed him at work 400 miles away. He lost his job and home while jailed; prosecutors have dropped the charges, and the office calls facial recognition "one tool among many."
A Virginia resident seeking class-action status sued Amazon in federal court in Seattle, alleging Ring's optional AI "Familiar Faces" feature retained images of passersby without consent, including his own face captured by doorbells at friends' and family members' homes. He seeks at least $5 million in damages for the class. Amazon declined to comment.
The Minas Gerais Court of Justice (TJMG) fined lawyers in Ibirité and Belo Horizonte for hiding prompt-injection commands in filings to sway the judiciary's AI tools; one, in white text on a white background, told AI systems to grant the plaintiff free legal aid and urgent relief. The cases went to the state bar, and one also to the Civil Police.
The Rondônia section of Brazil's bar association, OAB-RO, provisionally suspended a lawyer on June 1 after a court decision found hidden commands in his filing that could influence AI systems used to analyse court documents. The bar says the initial 30-day suspension is not a punishment; an ethics-disciplinary case is open and the measure goes to its council for ratification.
A New Jersey appellate court fined an insurer's attorney $1,000 after his brief cited four non-existent cases it called "hallmarks" of generative AI. When opposing counsel couldn't find one, he responded that "a review of legal databases confirms the existence" of a case with a similar citation. The court said it was "stunned" by his "carelessness and dismissiveness".
La Tilde, a bilingual news site praising US military operations in Latin America, is run as a messaging platform for US Special Operations Command South, a defense official told The Intercept. Its About page discloses US government funding; an AI-text detector flagged articles as machine-written, and its AI-generated art includes a White House portico missing several columns.
