From theory to action. How to use #GenAI in tribunal and judical system. Just now UNESCO launched consultation of guidelines.

📣 Earlier this year we surveyed judicial operators from 96 countries on their use of AI. 💡 They said that 44% of judges, prosecutors and lawyers, are using AI tools such as ChatGPT in their work, yet only 9% have received proper institutional training or guidelines. UNESCO has now developed draft Guidelines for the Use of AI Systems in Courts and Tribunals through a series of expert consultations. ✅ Provide your feedback on the draft guidelines at: https://lnkd.in/ewnuGpsA Juan David Gutiérrez Rodríguez, Ikran Ali Abdirahman #aiethics #aigovernance #ruleoflaw

UNESCO’s recent survey of judicial operators worldwide has highlighted a significant lack of institutional guidance and training on the use of AI systems. In response, UNESCO, in collaboration with international experts, has developed draft Guidelines for AI use in Courts and Tribunals. The guidelines, shaped by the UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of AI, aim to ensure AI technologies are integrated into judicial systems in a way that upholds justice, human rights and the rule of law.

🌍 Earlier this year, UNESCO surveyed judicial operators from 96 countries on their use of AI tools in work-related activities. 📊 Our findings revealed that 44% of judges, prosecutors, and lawyers are using AI tools like ChatGPT. However, only 9% have received proper institutional training or guidelines. 🌐 In response, we have developed the draft Guidelines for the Use of AI Systems in Courts and Tribunals through a series of expert consultations. 📅 The draft Guidelines are now open for public consultation in English until 5 September 2024. We encourage your review and comments, please share widely!

Want to know how courts are reacting to the explosion of #GenAI? Check out this tool from RAILS - Responsible AI in Legal Services. I really appreciate the following quote from Paul Grimm, Senior U.S. District Judge (retired) about the attorneys who have misused this technology in court filings, "These were entirely self-inflicted injuries because no lawyer or party should file any court paper without independently confirming the accuracy of the facts and legal authority cited." This new technology (like all tech) may be imperfect, but that doesn't mean it won't have an important role to play in court filings as well contract management.

I'm convinced #AI is the most significant technological change we are currently experiencing. It's not #vaporware, #NFTs, or the #Metaverse. And the regulatory change around #AI is accelerating. This article helps explain what is going on in the EU and in the US in #AILaw. I hope you find it interesting.

In the first two parts of this three-part series (see below for links), we covered the basics of how the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the legal profession is being governed — at least until this point in time.
