Driver crashes into T-Mobile store after medical emergency, MDSO says
A driver in his 70s was taken to the hospital Friday morning after crashing his car into a T-Mobile store, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office. Deputies said the man had gone to the store to pay his bill when he experienced a medical emergency and accidentally hit the gas pedal instead of the brake, sending his vehicle into the middle of the store. "It was just chaos, everybody was scared, everybody was wondering what was going on," said Felix Morales, who told CBS News Miami he works at a warehouse behind the store and heard the crash. "Poof, like glass, and I said whoa, that's kind of weird, and that's what made me come over here," Morales said. No one else injured Xavier Thompson, who works nearby, said no one was injured inside the store because it had not yet opened. "As far as the T-Mobile people said, they were in the back. Nobody was inside. It happened prior to the five minutes when they open," Thompson told CBS News Miami. Monica Rodriguez, another nearby worker, said she was worried for the man. "I was concerned for him because I was like, oh my God, what happened, I hope he's okay," Rodriguez said. Man expected to recover Authorities said the man is expected to recover. The store was deemed unsafe by the county and there is no word on when it will reopen. CBS News Miami reported that cleanup crews spent the day working to remove the vehicle and assess the damage, which included shattered glass and a damaged entrance. The door frame remained intact. T-Mobile did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

England's High Court Warns Lawyers to Stop Citing Fake A.I.-Generated Cases
The High Court of England and Wales warned lawyers on Friday that they could face criminal prosecution for presenting to judges false material generated by artificial intelligence, after a series of cases cited made-up quotes and rulings that did not exist. In a rare intervention, one of the country's most senior judges said that existing guidance to lawyers had proved 'insufficient to address the misuse of artificial intelligence' and that further steps were urgently needed. The ruling by Victoria Sharp, president of the King's Bench Division of the High Court, and a second judge, Jeremy Johnson, detailed two recent cases in which fake material was used in written legal arguments that were presented in court. In one case, a claimant and his lawyer admitted that A.I. tools had generated 'inaccurate and fictitious' material in a lawsuit against two banks that was dismissed last month. In the other case, which ended in April, a lawyer for a man suing his local council said she could not explain where a series of nonexistent cases in the arguments had come from. Judge Sharp drew the two examples together using rarely exercised powers that were designed to enable the 'court to regulate its own procedures and to enforce duties that lawyers owe.' 'There are serious implications for the administration of justice and public confidence in the justice system if artificial intelligence is misused,' she wrote, warning that lawyers could be convicted of a criminal offense or barred from practicing for using false A.I.-generated material.
