Chief Justice John Roberts on Sunday turned his focus to the promise, and shortcomings, of artificial intelligence in the federal courts, in an annual report that made no mention of Supreme Court ethics or legal controversies involving Donald Trump.
Describing artificial intelligence as the "latest technological frontier," Roberts discussed the pros and cons of computer-generated content in the legal profession. His remarks come just a few days after the latest instance of AI-generated fake legal citations making their way into official court records, in a case involving ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.
"Always a bad idea," Roberts wrote in his year-end report, noting that "any use of AI requires caution and humility."

Personally I so not see AI being used is a responsible way. I see a lot of nefarious characters using it to scam people and businesses at every turn because at most they will get a slap on the wrist by the courts.

Nor do I; and in fact, it's a certainty that our enemies will develop it in a destructive way against infrastructure, defense, banking, and on, and on. Just imagine how AI hacking programs could be used and it's cause for serious concerns.

I always question the core aim of the AI creators who do not contemplate how some will use it destructively. Moral reasoning involves consideration of how many I may help, and how many I will hurt.
