Chief Justice John Roberts urged restraint from law enforcement in the use of Artificial Intelligence through a 13-page year-end report. The report is being evaluated by the American media as having a double stance since Mr. Roberts did not express himself as a whole either for or against the use of Artificial Intelligence. He said this technology has the potential, for example, to help courts resolve cases more quickly and at less cost. But Mr Roberts also pointed to privacy concerns and the fact that this new technology still lacks the level of human judgement.

He predicts that human judges will not be replaced by technology any time soon, but, he adds, “I predict with the same confidence that work, especially when it comes to judicial processes, will be significantly affected by Artificial Intelligence. For this he emphasizes that "every use requires care and restraint".

The Chief Justice's comment is seen as the most significant discussion to date of the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the law and coincides with a number of lower courts struggling to find the best way to adapt to a technology young person with exceptional abilities, but who has also shown a tendency to generate fictitious content that is called "hallucinations" here.

Mr Roberts cited a case where so-called AI hallucinations had prompted lawyers to cite cases that never happened in court documents.

He did not say which case it was, but the media quickly recalled the case last week when Michael Cohen, the former lawyer of Donald Trump, the former president of the United States, admitted that he had mistakenly provided lawyers with false quotes. that had managed to become part of the documentation that was accepted by the Court.

A new rule proposed by a federal court in New Orleans would require attorneys to certify that they have not relied on artificial intelligence programs, such as ChatGPT or OpenAI, to draft summaries or that humans have reviewed the accuracy of a text. created by this technology in their court files./ VOA
