What happened
In QTR v BXD [2025] NZERA 716, the Employment Relations Authority found that a self-represented applicant had used ChatGPT to produce a lengthy submission. It cited numerous cases that did not exist and misstated real ones. The applicant had also uploaded the respondent’s sensitive and confidential information into the AI tool, which the Authority found breached confidentiality obligations.
What happened next
The Authority made interim non-publication orders and a compliance order requiring the applicant to stop uploading or copying the respondent’s confidential information into any OpenAI platform.
