'AI hallucinations' in parole board submission scuttles media ban on convicted murderer Sue Neill

Convicted murderer Susan Neill-Fraser's challenge to a parole condition preventing her from speaking to the media was heard in the Supreme Court of Tasmania on Tuesday.

Justice Stephen Estcourt ruled the condition was invalid, due to a document justifying the condition citing non-existent case law that was likely "hallucinated" by AI.

The state's attorney-general says he wants an explanation about the parole board's "professional standards" and is "seeking assurances around how the board will ensure this doesn't happen again".
