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.

He said

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).
