Judges will be able to use ChatGPT to help write legal rulings despite warnings that artificial intelligence (AI) can invent cases that never happened.

The following report is by The Telegraph:

The Judicial Office has issued official guidance to thousands of judges in England and Wales saying AI can be useful for summarising large amounts of text or in administrative tasks.

However, it said that chatbots are a “poor way of conducting research” and are prone to making up fictitious cases or legal texts.

The guidance also warned that the rise of bots such as ChatGPT could end up being widely used by members of the public when bringing legal cases and that deepfake technology could be used to create fake evidence.

Sir Geoffrey Vos, the Master of the Rolls, said that AI “offers significant opportunities in developing a better, quicker and more cost-effective digital justice system.”

Technology will only move forwards and the judiciary has to understand what is going on. Judges, like everybody else, need to be acutely aware that AI can give inaccurate responses as well as accurate ones.

He said

Earlier this year, a senior judge, Lord Justice Birss, described ChatGPT as “jolly useful”, saying he had used the chatbot to summarise an area of law he was familiar with, and copy and pasted it into a court ruling.

He said on Monday that he had used ChatGPT as a test and that it had been used within the guidance because he had not entered any secret or confidential information into it.

Chatbots have landed lawyers in the US into difficulties after they used ChatGPT to write a court filing that contained multiple fictional cases invented by the bot.

AI language models write sentences by predicting a series of words based on huge quantities of text that they have been “trained” on, meaning they are prone to inventing facts.

The legal guidance says that “the current public AI chatbots do not produce convincing analysis or reasoning” and that “judicial office holders are personally responsible for material which is produced in their name”.

Judges have also been warned not to put private information into a chatbot, warning that it could end up in the public domain.

The guidance also states that chatbots are prone to stating US law when asked legal questions. It says American spelling and references to US cases are an indication that something is likely to have been generated by AI.

Sir Geoffrey said that lawyers were potentially subject to perjury and criminal sanctions if submissions penned by a chatbot produced false evidence.

Nothing changes just because they may have got what they said falsely from an AI chatbot instead of out of their own head.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

Just a couple of weeks ago I reported how a city council in Brazil used AI to generate an ordinance, and when was the enforced on 1.3 million people, but did not tell them that AI wrote up the new statute until afterwards.

Judgment and justice had already fallen by the wayside long ago, but this takes it to a whole new level. The oppression continues to get worse; where now judgements will be issued in part by AI, and eventually, given time, the AI will be the sole judge.

Again, these reprobates are trying to create and view AI as their new God, one that will save all of their problems and deliver them from their troubles. We of course know the REAL Judge will eventually judge them in time…

[21] But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby. [22] For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.

Isaiah 33:21-22

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

  • I guess some things we need to pay attention to, is what kind of information we publish online, and the type (text, photos, voice). Because the likelihood of generating false content by synthesising mannerism and voice is getting easier by the day.

    With each day I see more and more why judgment *must* upon mankind, and I pray to our Lord Jesus Christ, our saviour and everlasting Father (Isaiah 9:6), the catching away and judgment may come quickly.

    • Psalm 58:10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. [11] So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.

  • You mean like that ‘jolly old elf’…….ho, ho.ho??? Who was also so useful to the ‘transformers’ and the ‘conscious evolvers’…. that ‘art’ and distraction joined to evolutionary juris prudence & their ever ‘evolving’ law? No thanks. They can keep their Satan ‘clause’ and father of lies in his bloody red suit ruling as a ‘king’ from the ‘north’, their evolving Revelation 13 ‘idol’ unifying thing…..and all the rest of their ‘revision’ aims and agendas, too. Transformers and potters.

    Puke.

    But I won’t be washing my feet in any blood of any vengeance until following the Lord Jesus Christ upon his return and assuring I’m not acting in presumption, or usurping what is the Jews’. It’s coming: but it’s not here yet.

    Isaiah 63 relates to the 63rd book of the King James Bible which is 2 John KJB: check it out.
    Isaiah 63:4 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

    We must not jump the gun with that fake, that bloody Harlot & her manipulating crafted games and crusades. Stay in the word. Live circumspectly. Fulfill the commission given us. Wait on the Lord and watch. Our promises are good, and different, and the time for us to fight with the Lord present will come. Now we do not fight for vengeance, but for defense and protection, for what is right.
    Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

    Look at the fake ‘Christian’ unity being formed today, uniting in the ‘spirit of humanity’, self-righteousness and some comparison of ‘good and gooder people’. 2 Corinthians 10 & 11 KJB.

    And, note carefully who destroys the Harlot of Revelation 17 & 18 before the Lord’s return and judgment of him and the ‘united nations’…..following his betrayal of the Jews who will be fighting with, and then against him, & with us at the Lord’s return.

    Quit you like men, stand, and fight: but don’t be a part of that premature thing. Note where it ends, & seek with all of your strength to be a part of THAT.

    There’s something there about those last two verses of Daniel 11:44-45, coming before the events of the opening of Daniel 12 ….and Joel 2:20 KJB. The final chapters of Isaiah. We’re not in those things….at least, not until the very end that I can see. Please, biblically enlighten me if that’s not so.

    Also: the aim and agenda of both ‘sides’ of this confusion that is herding and driving people is as that of the builders who’ve rejected the chief cornerstone who are always trying to draw us in & use us to their wicked and impure ends. Trying to lure the Lord’s people to be joined to some aim and agenda that is as crafty, manipulative and seductive, and bloody as Rome’s…..some ‘common cause’ that is never ever the same as our commission. I don’t trust ANY of it.
