Supreme Court begins pilot testing of AI software

The Supreme Court (SC) has begun pilot testing of AI software in select first and second level courts. The development was mentioned during the second anniversary of the Strategic Plan for Judicial Innovations (SPJI).

As mentioned previously, this move is geared towards judicial innovation with assistance from experts in machine language. Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo says that this will decrease time spent on preliminary research, allowing more time for analysis.

In other words, the SC is capitalizing on AI-enabled tools to enhance court performance. Notably, this is being applied in voice-to-text transcription (via SCRIPTIX) and legal research.

Gesmundo also added that this is a cost-effective measure that hopes to address the shortage in court stenographers. Several offices of the Supreme Court have also started testing AI-powered platforms for optimizing legal research.

Senior Associate Justice Marivic Leonen also sees the danger and importance of using AI properly to reshape judicial processes. Leonen says that they are careful that the wrong domain or large language model could be detrimental.

This is why the SC has been engaging with experts to help with machine language. This ensures that data coming out from their programs come out as accurate as possible.

Gesmundo has also mentioned that AI will only support judicial efficiency, not replace human elements. He said that courts should still be populated with human judges should empathy and compassion be considered for equitable remedies.

What do you guys think of the Supreme Court’s pilot testing of AI software for transcriptions and legal research?

Duane Villanueva
Communication graduate, closet cynic, and kid at heart. Duane is a rare person to find, quite literally. He often takes to himself but has proven his mettle in tech media with his quick wits. Well, the portfolio of scriptwriting, web content, and public relations help too, we suppose. As a homebody, he often spends his time on the streaming platform Twitch or ‘farming’ gaming clips with friends. He is also an avid fan of round glasses and anything relative to blueberries.
