The increasing integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the Portuguese legal system presents significant challenges, one of the most concerning being the phenomenon of AI "hallucinations." This issue arises when AI systems generate seemingly plausible but factually incorrect information, potentially compromising legal security and the reliability of judicial decisions. The use of these tools in administrative courts raises complex questions regarding their reliability, ethics, and regulation, necessitating a thorough analysis of their impact on administrative procedural law.This article examines the implications of AI hallucinations in the context of administrative procedural law, presenting concrete cases where excessive reliance on automated tools has led to severe errors. The growing dependence on AI for legal document analysis and interpretation, opinion drafting, and decision-making highlights the urgent need to establish strict standards to ensure the verification and validation of the information generated.Furthermore, the importance of defining an adequate regulatory framework to mitigate the risks associated with AI in the judicial system is analyzed. Clarity regarding the role of judges, lawyers, and other legal professionals in supervising technology plays a crucial role in preventing failures in legal proceedings. Promoting digital literacy among legal professionals is essential, enabling them to critically evaluate the outputs produced by AI systems. Finally, recommendations are provided for a prudent and regulated use of AI within the Portuguese legal system. The implementation of rigorous guidelines can contribute to a balance between technological innovation and legal security, ensuring that the adoption of these technologies respects the fundamental principles of justice and due process.
