Abstract generation in progress

According to a report by The Verge on May 16, Anthropic has responded to the citation errors caused by its AI assistant Claude in legal documents, describing it as an "embarrassing and unintentional mistake" rather than a deliberate fabrication. In a copyright lawsuit with a music publisher, a document submitted by Anthropic data scientist Olivia Chen on April 30 contained erroneous citations, which were criticized by lawyers for Universal Music Group (UMG) as "completely fabricated."

Anthropic's lawyer Ivana Dukanovic stated in a response submitted on Thursday that while the questioned sources do exist, Claude added incorrect titles and author information when formatting legal citations. Although the company conducted a "manual citation check" and corrected the erroneous volume and page numbers, these wording errors went unnoticed.
