Risk Digest
The flagship, near-daily updated database of documented AI hallucination and sanction incidents in legal proceedings worldwide. Each entry is a structured record, not a news article: jurisdiction, court, judge (if named), the AI tool implicated, penalty amount, ruling date, a confirmed-vs-reported status flag, and a link to the primary court order. Serves the 'check risk' and 'track regulation' tasks: a lawyer, risk manager, or journalist scanning for new sanctions, a specific jurisdiction, or a specific tool. Excludes narrative commentary, procedural how-to guidance (belongs in Workflows), and rule text summaries (belongs in Regulation). This group is the site's differentiation engine: freshness and per-record sourcing are the moat, so every record must carry a last-verified timestamp distinct from the ruling date.
Confirmed
A court order or docket entry has been independently verified.
Reported — unverified
Still pending independent verification against a primary source.

On 2 August 2026 the BBC corrected its framing of the Athens suitcase case; this record explains why AI-generated case summaries that captured the earlier snapshot will not propagate that correction. Under the Munich Regional Court's preliminary 'own statements' ruling on Google AI Overviews, that staleness becomes an ingestion and liability risk, so primary-source verification must be the standard for AI-summarized legal content while the underlying case record is still moving.

The Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh matter produced two distinct outcomes that share one 'acquittal' label: a May 26, 2025 POCSO closure report acceptance, which is not a trial verdict, and an August 3, 2026 trial acquittal. This workflow shows how to verify each docket from primary sources, and what remains unconfirmed while the reasoned order is unpublished and the appeal window is open.

This article presents a verification workflow for in-house counsel and litigators when a counterparty claims a real audio or video exhibit is AI-generated. Using the Fukuoka bribery scandal as a case study, it outlines the two-step authentication burden — proving the exhibit is not synthetic, then proving what it means — and explains why clearing the first does not clear the second.

After the WNBA posted and deleted a video of Paige Bueckers and Angel Reese appearing to bet $400 on their own game, league sources said no discipline would follow. The reported call is contractually permissible under the CBA gambling clause, but it sets a risky precedent as Congress, state regulators, and prosecutors scrutinize betting integrity.

Tony Romo's open-container citation is legally minor in Wisconsin — a civil forfeiture carrying no demerit points — but it is the evidentiary hinge of his OWI file, and an identical fact pattern would materially escalate a DWI under Texas law, raising mandatory jail time from three days to six. The key is separating what the citation carries in Wisconsin from what the same conduct would carry in his home state.
