The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) in the legal sector has sparked discussions from podcasts to conferences to continuing legal education, engaging a growing number of lawyers. The magnifying attention isn’t limited to lawyers, it has started to resonate within the judicial community as well.
Chief Judge A. Gregory Poole of the Cobb Judicial Circuit expressed his concerns regarding the potentially problematic application of AI in the legal system: “I am concerned that AI can be used to alter or even manufacture evidence. I am not sure how we will deal with this or even, in some cases, recognize a problem.”
As technology continues to intertwine with law, the distinction between the advantageous and detrimental use of AI remains blurry, illustrating a pressing need for further insight and deliberation among legal professionals. The full narrative including Judge Poole’s remarks can be found here.
