“The NCAA will pay nearly $2.8 billion in back damages over the next 10 years to athletes who competed in college at any time from 2016 through present day”

Update 6/1: Here is a database that tracks legal decisions in cases "where generative AI produced hallucinated content – typically fake citations, but also other types of arguments." As of today it includes 129 decisions. www.thefacultylounge.org/2025/06/ai-i...

"The study revealed limited knowledge regarding legal restrictions on kidney donation, with only 9.8% aware that non-related persons cannot donate kidneys according to the law, and a mere 4.9% knowing that financial compensation for donation is illegal.”
