A sacked ALDI employee condemned by the Fair Work Commission for using "plain wrong" artificial intelligence (AI) advice in his failed bid to reverse his dismissal says he now plans to use "two or three" different AI agents to help him appeal against the decision.
Sadnan Khan was ordered to pay $1,230 towards the supermarket giant's legal fees after a landmark Fair Work Commission decision found he used AI as a "quasi-legal advisor" to challenge his dismissal, despite repeat warnings his case had "no substantial prospects of success".
"I have taken the very rare step of ordering him to pay some of the employer's legal costs, because his unreasonable conduct caused his former employer to incur those costs unnecessarily," Fair Work Commission deputy president Michael Easton said in the tribunal's decision last week.
"If Mr Khan had properly read his own AI generated replies … he would have known that his case was doomed."
Mr Khan told the ABC he used a paid version of ChatGPT to help him decipher legal cases the tribunal and ALDI had raised.
"They're quoting me cases, right … and I as not a legal personality have to go somewhere to do the study," he said.
"The main thing AI suffers is they do things not the Aussie [court] way."
Mr Khan — originally from Bangladesh — said he was relying on AI advice to understand how to navigate the system, but admits he made mistakes — including forgetting to remove AI-chat instructions from his submissions.
