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.

Primary-source-linked record of the Valeria Márquez femicide case, tracing how documented victim-blaming discourse drew formal legal responses — Jalisco prosecutor statements invoking the no-revictimisation standard, the June 2025 OFAC designation, and the July 2026 'El R1' arrest. The record separates confirmed case-file actions from unverified claims and states plainly that no court ruling blamed the victim.

Age-progressed images are routine in cold case work, yet peer-reviewed validation shows recognition accuracy varies sharply by subject and artist, and as of Q3 2026 no settled admissibility standard covers AI-generated versions. Litigators can use this record to pin down the accuracy benchmarks and jurisdiction-specific rules that determine whether a given image can be challenged or safely offered.

No public determination exists that Nancy Guthrie's ransom notes were AI-written: the theory is attributed to former investigators and media commentary, while the FBI's documented basis for discounting notes was operational, not forensic. This analysis gives lawyers a verification standard for treating any "AI-generated" document label as an unverified assertion requiring corroboration, not a finding.
