U.S. judge runs ‘mini-experiment’ with AI to help decide case

11th Circuit Judge Kevin Newsom said he turned to AI programs like ChatGPT to help interpret a key legal term in a man’s appeal of his more than 11-year prison sentence. While the judge said he was initially “spooked” by slight variances in the answers they generated, he also said the software could be a “valuable” tool. Newsom detailed his research in a concurrence to a Thursday opinion by the 11th Circuit. Nate Raymond has more on Newsom’s “mini-experiment.”
