Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Courts, and Real Harms

The international legal community saw a paradigm redefined at the beginning of this year.  Judges in Colombia, for the first time, openly used generative artificial intelligence (GAI) to author parts of their judicial opinions.  In the first case, a judge used GAI to help research and draft a holding addressing a petitioner’s request for a waiver of medical fee payments for treatment for her child with autism.  In the second case, the court addressed how to conduct a virtual court appearance in the metaverse while citing GAI-based research. 

These courtroom applications are the first two cases in which GAI has been applied in a context that parses and interprets the law, applying the weight of state authority.

GPT-4

GPT 4 – “We’ve created GPT-4, the latest milestone in OpenAI’s effort in scaling up deep learning.  GPT-4 is a large multimodal model (accepting image and text inputs, emitting text outputs) that, while less capable than humans in many real-world scenarios, exhibits human-level performance on various professional and academic benchmarks.”
