The Update: Introducing the Judges Who Utilize AI and GPT-5’s Health Benefits

The propensity for AI systems to make mistakes that humans miss has been evident in the US legal system recently. The issues began when lawyers submitted documents referencing cases that didn’t exist. Similar errors have since proliferated to other roles within the courts. Last December, a Stanford professor submitted sworn testimony containing inaccuracies in a case concerning deepfakes, despite being an expert in AI and misinformation.

Now, judges are experimenting with generative AI as well. Some believe that with appropriate safeguards, this technology could expedite legal research, summarize cases, draft routine orders, and ultimately help alleviate the significant backlog within the court system in many areas of the US. Are they justified in their confidence?

What you may have missed about GPT-5
OpenAI’s new GPT-5 model was anticipated to showcase the latest advancements in AI. It was expected to represent a significant step toward the “artificial general intelligence” that many have argued will benefit humanity.

However, the model has largely fallen short of those expectations. Notably, OpenAI has started recommending its models for health advice, indicating a shift in strategy that could lead to complex challenges.
