From AI avatars to virtual reality crime scenes, courts are grappling with AI in the justice system<\/strong><\/a> — from whec.com by Rio Yamat
\nThe family of a man who died in a road rage shooting incident played a video showing a likeness of him generated with AI.<\/em><\/p>\n

Defense attorney Jason Lamm won\u2019t be handling the appeal, but said a higher court will likely be asked to weigh in on whether the judge improperly relied on the AI-generated video when sentencing his client.<\/p>\n

Courts across the country have been grappling with how to best handle the increasing presence of artificial intelligence in the courtroom. Even before Pelkey\u2019s family used AI to give him a voice for the victim impact portion \u2014 believed to be a first in U.S. courts \u2014 the Arizona Supreme Court created a committee that researches best AI practices.<\/p>\n

In Florida, a judge recently donned a virtual reality headset meant to show the point of view of a defendant who said he was acting in self-defense when he waved a loaded gun at wedding guests. The judge rejected his claim.<\/p>\n

Experts say using AI in courtrooms raises legal and ethical concerns, especially if it\u2019s used effectively to sway a judge or jury. And they argue it could have a disproportionate impact on marginalized communities facing prosecution.

Poll: 1 in 3 would let an AI lawyer represent them<\/strong><\/a> — from robinai.com<\/p>\n

April 29 2025<\/strong>: A major new survey, from legal intelligence platform\u00a0Robin AI,<\/a>\u00a0has revealed a severe lack of trust in the legal industry. Just 1 in 10 people across the US and UK said they fully trust law firms, but while increasingly open to AI-powered legal services, few are ready to let technology take over without human oversight.<\/p>\n

Perspectus Global polled a representative sample of 4,152 people across both markets. An overwhelming majority see Big Law as \u201cexpensive\u201d, \u201celitist\u201d or \u201cintimidating\u201d but only 30% of respondents would allow a robot lawyer \u2014 that is, an AI system acting alone \u2014 to represent them in a legal matter. On average, respondents said they would need a 57% discount to choose an AI lawyer over a human.<\/p>\n
