>According to the court document, the legal questions entered into the AI tool included “Is an autistic minor exonerated from paying fees for their therapies?” and “Has the jurisprudence of the constitutional court made favorable decisions in similar cases?”

It does say they were fact checked, but it also seems to leave room for questions. Like, for example, did ChatGPT choose the most appropriate answers/background, or just ones that fact-checked well enough? Might that matter later if the decision is rehashed or used as precedent?

Yeah. Train it on a rulings that pre-date the civil rights movement and see how great it is.

On the other hand: Train it on rulings from the past 30 years, but remove all traces of gender, race, income, location and education. Then let the A.I. reveal a ton of bias in judges, prosecutors and juries.
