Inside what's driving tech
Lawyer Stephen Aarons used to summarize the case of a client serving a life sentence for murder but failed to verify the filing before submitting it. The court fined him $5,000, held him in contempt and said it would refer him to the state attorney disciplinary board. While dozens of US lawyers have already been sanctioned over AI-generated fake case citations, this case went further by inserting fictional factual evidence into a criminal appeal.
Founder of Stack Chronicle and a journalist with experience across several local and national radio stations (including RTL2, Hit West, Euradio and Figaro Radio in France, and WDET in Detroit, Michigan), I began taking a deeper interest in technology in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. I quickly realised, that few media outlets were building meaningful connections between technology, AI, finance, politics and environmental issues. That observation led to the creation of Stack Chronicle: a publication designed to help both curious readers and more informed audiences understand the technological transformations shaping our world.
