  "account": "Between July 2025 and April 2026, a record 44,039 Australians lodged claims at the Fair Work Commission, covering a wide range of issues, from unfair dismissal to bullying. The commission has declared it is facing an \"unprecedented growth in its workload\" due to the increasing popularity of artificial intelligence (AI). A survey found that about 40% of unfair dismissal applicants had used AI for their claims, mainly ChatGPT. The Fair Work Commission has implemented new rules effective October 20 to regulate AI use in their cases. These rules require disclosure of AI usage, human fact-checking, and transparency about personal information. Violations could result in documents being disregarded, legal costs being shifted, or even case dismissal.",
