Tasmanian parole board's AI error derails media ban on convicted killer

Sue Neill-Fraser, convicted of murder, challenged a parole condition that barred her from speaking to the press. During the hearing, the parole board relied on a legal precedent that did not exist, a mistake attributed to an AI hallucination. The court ruled the board's argument insufficient, overturning the media restriction. Tasmania's attorney-general has called for an explanation of the board's professional standards and assurances that such AI errors will not recur.
