法律英语导读：一位法官刚刚使用 ChatGPT 做出判决（全文见文末），该案是法院首次承认在法律裁决中使用了人工智能文本生成器的答案。哥伦比亚的一名法官使用 ChatGPT 做出法庭裁决，这是第一次在人工智能文本生成器的帮助下做出法律决定。根据一份日期为 2023 年 1 月 30 日的法庭文件，主持卡塔赫纳市第一巡回法院的法官加西亚表示，他使用人工智能工具对案件提出法律问题，并将其答复纳入他的决定。虽然此案显然是法官首次承认使用像 ChatGPT 这样的人工智能文本生成器，但有争议的是，一些法院已经开始使用自动决策工具来确定量刑或刑事被告是否被保释。这些系统在法庭上的使用受到了 AI 伦理学家的严厉批评，他们指出，它们经常会强化种族主义和性别歧视的刻板印象，并扩大先前存在的不平等形式。尽管哥伦比亚法院的文件表明 AI 主要用于加快起草决定的速度，并且其回复经过了事实核查。
法律英语阅读：《ChatGPT首次用于法院判决》
ChatGPT was first used for a court decision
A judge in Colombia used ChatGPT to make a court decision, and it’s probably the first time a legal decision has been made using an AI text generator — or at least the first that we’re aware of.
Judge Juan Manuel Padilla Garcia, who presides over the First Circuit Court in the city of Cartagena, said he used an AI tool to ask legal questions in the case and incorporated its answers into his decision, according to court document dated January 30, 2023.
“The arguments for this decision will be determined in line with the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Accordingly, we entered parts of the legal questions posed in these proceedings,” Garcia wrote in the decision. “The purpose of including these AI-produced texts is in no way to replace the judge’s decision. What we are really looking for is to optimize the time spent drafting judgments after corroborating the information provided by AI.”
The case involved a dispute with a health insurance company over whether an autistic child should receive coverage for medical treatment. According to the court document, the legal questions entered into the AI tool included “Is an autistic minor exonerated from paying fees for their therapies?” and “Has the jurisprudence of the constitutional court made favorable decisions in similar cases?”
Garcia included the chatbot’s full responses in the ruling, apparently the first time a judge has admitted to doing so. The judge also included his own reflections on applicable legal precedents and said AI was used to “extend the arguments of the adopted decision.” After a detailed discussion with the AI, the judge accepts its answers and his own legal arguments as a basis for making a decision.
Colombian law does not prohibit the use of artificial intelligence in judicial decisions, but systems such as ChatGPT are notorious for producing biased, discriminatory or simply wrong answers. This is because the language model has no real understanding of the text — it simply synthesizes sentences based on probability from the millions of examples used to train the system. （来源：Mezha）
