When AI Hallucinated Fake Publications Under Her Name — Kantha Shelke's Warning for Expert Witnesses

Question: "Have you ever had your own credentials or published work used against you to argue that your expertise was actually narrower than you were claiming?"

Dr. Kantha Shelke shares a striking real-world example of how an expert witness's own published work can be weaponized against them — and why AI is making this problem worse. She recounts discovering that AI had fabricated an entire set of publications attributed to her, complete with plausible co-authors and convincing abstracts that turned out to be completely hallucinated. She also warns about a growing tactic where third parties — including embassies and consulates — lift an expert's writing out of context to serve their own narrative.

Her advice: always demand the full picture when your work is cited against you, and consider keeping a cheat sheet of your publications so you can confidently account for everything you've written — before opposing counsel tries to use it against you.

Essential viewing for expert witnesses who publish frequently, teach, or have a public-facing body of work.
