Are AI chatbots in courts putting justice at risk?

The Hindu  

Indian High Court judge Anoop Chitkara has ruled over thousands of cases. "Some judges are trying to find a way to make the job faster - but they don't always know the limits or risks," said Juan David Gutierrez, professor of public policy and data at Universidad del Rosario in Bogota. Constitutional judges asked ChatGPT about any "legitimate public interest" for journalists posting online photos of a "woman showing parts of her body" without her consent. The court record said ChatGPT does not replace decisions made by jurists, but that it can be used as additional support to be able to "clarify certain concepts." "It can't be used as if it's a calculator that takes away the obligation of judges to use reason and to apply justice and to apply it correctly," Guerrero said, adding she is considering filing a complaint against the judges for using the chatbot.
