Justice Barrett Highlights Supreme Court's Avoidance of AI Due to Security Concerns
Justice Amy Coney Barrett has stated that the U.S. Supreme Court is not adopting artificial intelligence (AI) technology due to security concerns. Speaking at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, Barrett assured that the court's opinions are not AI-generated. This statement comes amidst increasing use of AI tools in the legal industry, where lawyers are reportedly using AI to predict questions from justices. Barrett's comments follow revelations by Milbank partner Neal Katyal, who used an AI model trained on Supreme Court papers to prepare for a tariffs case, claiming the AI accurately predicted the justices' questions and opinions. Justice Sonia Sotomayor also expressed concerns about AI's predictability of court decisions, suggesting it reflects a lack of unpredictability in the court's rulings.
