U.S. Plaintiff Hid AI Prompt Words in Complaint: Judge Warns Against Prompt Injection Infiltrating Courts
A self-represented plaintiff in Connecticut, USA, concealed hidden instructions in court documents with white text on a white background, only readable by AI, attempting to influence the case handling. It became the first case of "prompt injection" in the U.S. judicial system. However, the state court did not actually use AI to review the materials, so the method did not work, and the party was penalized for abusing the procedure.
