Originally Published 2 years ago — by Reuters

U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts highlighted the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on the legal field in a year-end report, advocating for "caution and humility" in its use. He acknowledged AI's potential benefits, such as improving access to justice and streamlining legal processes, but also warned of risks like privacy issues and the technology's limitations in replicating human judgment. Roberts noted instances of AI-generated "hallucinations" leading to the citation of non-existent cases in court documents and discussed a new proposed rule by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to regulate AI use in legal briefs.
