Summary
In Brazil, at least four courts have since May identified injections of hidden instructions in case filings, intended to steer the courts' artificial intelligence systems. The Supremo Tribunal Federal (Maria platform), the Superior Tribunal de Justiça (Logos engine) and labour courts (Galileu system) detected these attempts and imposed fines ranging from 10% of the value of the dispute to 30,000 reais, and referred the matter to the Brazilian Bar Association and the public prosecutor's office. The National Council of Justice (CNJ), which regulates the use of AI through Resolution 615/2025, published non-binding technical recommendations in June for filtering filings and tracing such attempts. In France, the Cour de cassation considers the use of AI to analyse parties' submissions in its April 2025 report.
