How is AI being used in the legal system?

Über diese Folge

ChatGPT has been invading all walks of life in recent months, and that even includes the justice system. In late March 2023, a Pakistani judge consulted the chatbot before granting bail to a 13 year old boy who stood accused of kidnapping and attempting to rape a 9 year old. According to Pakistan Observer, the judge asked ChatGPT the following initial question: ““Can a juvenile suspect in Pakistan, who is 13 years old, be granted bail after arrest?” The chatbot responded: “Under the Juvenile Justice System Act 2018, according to section 12, the court can grant bail on certain conditions.” A discussion then ensued on how this option could be interpreted when taking into account certain other laws. The judge included ChatGPT’s responses in his judgement and stated how impressed he was. The cases have led to hope that AI could help make legal systems around the world more efficient, but there’s been a lot of criticism and skepticism too. Are there any other examples aside from ChatGPT ? What are the possible risks then?
