Since the launch of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence chatbot,
in November 2022, businesses and educational institutes have
grappled with the use of artificial intelligence. While privacy and
confidentiality concerns have been at the forefront of discussions,
there is increasing awareness of the chatbot's affinity for
inventing sources, references and citations.
Last Friday, June 23, 2023, in the first of its kind in Canada,
the Court of King's Bench of Manitoba issued a practice
direction on the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Court
Submissions:

development of artificial intelligence, it is apparent that
artificial intelligence might be used in court submissions. While
it is impossible at this time to completely and accurately predict
how artificial intelligence may develop or how to exactly define
the responsible use of artificial intelligence in court cases,
there are legitimate concerns about the reliability and accuracy
