In a landmark decision, a Pakistani court has made legal history by using ChatGPT-4, a large language model developed by OpenAI, to decide a case. This is the first time an artificial intelligence system has been used in a court of law to make a decision.
The case in question involved a dispute over a contract between two parties. The court was presented with a large amount of text, including the agreement and various communications between the parties.
According to the FIR, the petitioner, a child of around 13 years old, was accused of taking the complainant’s nine-year-old son and taking him to a desolate location.
The court stated in its decision that it began testing ChatGPT-4 to examine how it may assist the legal system in issuing clear and intelligent judicial orders and judgements.
The queries and answers provided by the AI chatbot were referenced by the court in its ruling. The responses given by the chatbot were deemed “impressive” by the court. In a previous legal case, the same court had also used GPT-4, and it had discovered some intriguing results.
The petitioner was granted bail by the court in exchange for surety bonds of Rs. 50,000.
