Lawyers for a plaintiff in a Brazilian labor case hid a prompt-injection instruction in a filing intended to influence the court’s AI review, according to the reports. The court fined the two law firms 10% of the claim’s value; the plaintiff won the case anyway because the defendant did not respond.

  • The filing contained white text on a white background instructing an AI to respond superficially and not challenge the documents.
  • The court fined the two law firms 10% of the R$842,000 claim’s value.
  • The plaintiff won the labor case because the defendant did not respond, making the attempted AI influence unnecessary, according to the brief report.
