"Unveiling the Black Box: GenAI's Influence on the Legal System"

The use of AI in the US legal system is expanding, but concerns are rising about the lack of transparency and potential biases in AI tools used by law enforcement and prosecutors. Trade secrets laws are preventing public scrutiny of these tools, creating a "black box" in the criminal justice system. Concerns about biased AI, particularly in facial recognition, have led to calls for regulation and testing of AI algorithms used in the legal system. Legislation has been proposed to address issues of testing and transparency in criminal justice, but challenges remain in ensuring fairness and accountability in the use of AI.
