AI guidance for judges in England and Wales warns against risks
Senior judges in the U.K. have published AI guidelines for the judiciary to follow, which advise how to use AI and warn of the potential risks of using the technology in trials.
A group of four senior judges in the United Kingdom have issued judicial guidance for artificial intelligence (AI), which deals with the “responsible use” of AI in courts and tribunals.
The guidance, published on Dec. 12, is directed toward magistrates, tribunal panel members and judges in England and Wales, and it is intended to inform and warn court officials.
The guidance points out potentially useful instances of AI usage, primarily in administrative aspects such as summarizing texts, writing presentations and composing emails.
