Chief Justice Roberts Says AI Will Transform How the Courts Work

Artificial intelligence will change how US courts do business, though human judges will be around “for a while” yet, Chief Justice John Roberts said.

AI tools will change how judges do their jobs and how they understand “the role that AI plays in the cases that come before them,” Roberts said in his end-of-year report. The remarks are a response to this year’s AI frenzy that swept the nation and financial markets, which has already started to alter how lawyers and judges approach their work.
