You say that they're really just starting to experiment.

Do we have any sense of how many judges are using the tools or how widespread the use of AI in trials or decisions might become?

From your reporting, it seems like there's a bit of tension around this within the legal community because we have judges coming up with standards for lawyers who are using the technology and some banning it and some being sanctioned for submitting inaccurate AI generated information.

How do you think the system overall is navigating that?

It seems pretty wild to ask a question like, could AI replace lawyers and judges?

But I mean, I was shocked just by the idea of federal judges using it in any way.

That was WSJ reporter Erin Muldane.

And that's it for Tech News Briefing.
