A group of four senior judges in the United Kingdom have\u00a0issued\u00a0judicial guidance for artificial intelligence (AI), which deals with the \u201cresponsible use\u201d of AI in courts and tribunals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The guidance, published on Dec. 12, is directed toward magistrates, tribunal panel members and judges in England and Wales, and it is intended to inform and warn court officials.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The guidance points out potentially useful instances of AI usage, primarily in administrative aspects such as summarizing texts, writing presentations and composing emails.<\/p>\n
England\u2019s second most senior judge, Sir Geoffrey Vos, said AI provides \u201cgreat opportunities for the justice system, but because it\u2019s so new we need to make sure that judges at all levels understand [it properly].\u201d<\/p>\n
However, most of the guidance cautions judges to be vigilant about consuming false information produced through AI searches and summaries, as well as cautious about anything false being produced by AI in their name. Particularly not recommended is the use of AI for legal research and analysis. <\/p>\n
The guidance said information provided by AI tools \u201cmay be inaccurate, incomplete, misleading or out of date.\u201d Also, it noted that United States laws may influence most AI systems. \u201cEven if it purports to represent English law, it may not do so.\u201d<\/p>\n
As it stands, judges in England and Wales are not obliged to reveal any prep work before producing a judgment.<\/p>\n
According to the issuing judges, this guidance is the first step in a \u201csuite of future work\u201d to support judiciary interactions with AI. In the future, the judiciary in both courts and tribunals will have the opportunity to take a survey and submit any questions.<\/p>\n
