Artificial Intelligence and Justice: Challenges and Perspectives in the Legal Field
The introduction of artificial intelligence into the realm of law has created new challenges for the recognition and protection of intellectual property. Cases such as Mata v. Avianca and Harber vs. HMRC serve as examples of how artificial intelligence can generate creative content with adverse consequences for users.
In the Mata v. Avianca case, lawyers utilized artificial intelligence to draft legal materials, pretending that it originated from court decisions. However, this material was proven to be nonexistent, as it was created by a computer program. The lack of knowledge regarding the material’s origin led to the dismissal of the case and sanctions imposed on the lawyers for bad faith.
Similarly, in the Harber vs. HMRC case, Ms. Harber presented legal material that was also proven to be created by an artificial intelligence program. This practice led to the rejection of the case, as Ms. Harber failed to provide reliable material to support her claim.
These cases highlight the need for careful evaluation of the material presented in courts. The use of artificial intelligence to create legal material requires transparency and verification of its origin. Additionally, there is a need for education and training of lawyers regarding the capabilities and limitations of artificial intelligence.
Overall, these cases demonstrate the need for a legal framework that addresses new technological challenges and ensures fair and transparent management of legal proceedings. Only in this way can we ensure the protection of rights and interests of all parties involved in 21st-century justice.
