$3,000 fines imposed per attorney

U.S. District Judge Nina Y. Wang penalized Christopher Kachouroff and Jennifer DeMaster after their February brief included AI‑generated inaccuracies, including “citations of cases that do not exist” and misquoted legal principles.

Part of Lindell’s costly defamation case

The filing was part of Mike Lindell’s defense in a lawsuit by former Dominion Voting Systems executive Eric Coomer, in which Lindell was found liable and ordered to pay $2.3 million.

Lawyers admitted reliance on AI without proper review

After initially blaming drafts and co-counsel, the attorneys confessed they never fact‑checked the AI‑generated content before signing and submitting it.

Violation of court rules under Rule 11

Judge Wang held the AI‑generated brief violated federal procedural standards due to failure to verify legal citations before submission.

Warning to the legal profession

This case is among several recent sanctions for AI "hallucinations" in court filings, emphasizing that attorneys must meticulously vet AI output if they choose to use it.

First international rollout

No sign‑up required

The feature is live by default; Users no longer need to enroll in Labs; it appears as a new tab in the search bar on both web and mobile.

Powered by Gemini 2.5 & fan‑out AI

The system uses a custom Gemini 2.5 model and fan‑out querying (splitting complex questions into multiple sub‑queries), delivering deep, multi-part, multimodal responses.

Multimodal & conversational

Users can interact via text, voice, or images (through Google Lens), receive integrated web links, and engage in follow-up questions to refine their search.

English-only rollout for now

In India, the feature is currently limited to English-language queries, with plans to expand to additional languages over time.
