AI models go to court (Beginner)

Experts are watching a big court case in British Columbia that's all about using AI in the legal system.

In this case, a lawyer used a computer program called ChatGPT to make fake legal papers for a family fight over money. It's the first time something like this has happened in Canada.

The lawyer, Chong Ke, is being looked into by the Law Society of B.C. Other lawyers are also suing her because they had to do extra work to find out the papers were fake.

Ke says she didn't know the computer program wasn't reliable.

Another expert, Vered Shwartz, says these computer programs can make mistakes, even though they seem right. She thinks we need better rules for using them in law.

But some experts, like Jon Festinger, think there's hope. They believe we can make better computer programs for law in the future.

The court will decide if Ke has to pay for the extra costs in the next two weeks.
