England’s legal system has approved the use of artificial intelligence to assist judges in producing rulings, marking a cautious step into the future of technology within the judiciary. The technology is limited to writing opinions and is not to be used for research or legal analyses to prevent the dissemination of misleading or biased information.
The U.S. federal court system has not yet implemented guidelines regarding the use of AI, while England and Wales have moved toward the forefront of addressing AI in courts with their recent guidance.
The guidance cautions judges about the limitations of AI, particularly with the use of chatbots and the potential risks associated with their ability to retain private or confidential information. It encourages the cautious, secondary use of AI as a tool for familiar material and warns against relying on it for new, unverifiable information or convincing analysis and reasoning.
