The latest bizarre chapter in the awkward arrival of artificial intelligence in the legal world unfolded March 26 under the stained-glass dome of New York State Supreme Court Appellate Division’s First Judicial Department, where a panel of judges was set to hear from Jerome Dewald, a plaintiff in an employment dispute.
On the video screen appeared a smiling, youthful-looking man with a sculpted hairdo, button-down shirt and sweater.
“May it please the court,” the man began. “I come here today a humble pro se before a panel of five distinguished justices.”
“Ok, hold on,” Manzanet-Daniels said. “Is that counsel for the case?”
“I generated that. That’s not a real person,” Dewald answered.
It was, in fact, an avatar generated by artificial intelligence. The judge was not pleased.
Did you even watch the video. The judge specifically calls him out for lying about a speech issue cause he’s had several conversations upto that point without issue, and she’s not mad about using a AI video but mad that he’s trying to promote some scam AI grift business of his by using her courtroom as free publicity
No, just read the article. I don’t like to watch videos for informative that can be written down.
Work the extra information, that does make it worse.
