AI errors are burdening the judicial system in Germany

The volume of court applications prepared with the help of artificial intelligence has increased sharply in Germany, creating a significant problem for the justice system. One.uz reports this.

Applicants are submitting documents reaching thousands of pages using tools like ChatGPT, which is increasing the workload for judges and making it difficult to make reliable decisions. Risk of incorrect information The biggest problem is that artificial intelligence includes fictitious laws and non-existent court decisions in the applications.

Due to such "hallucinations," court officials are forced to individually verify every piece of evidence, legal norm, and cited decision, which is also prolonging review periods and increasing the risk of error. Restrictions and solutions are being sought As the situation has become serious, the German Ministry of Justice is considering measures to limit the volume of documents submitted to court.

In parallel, courts are also exploring opportunities to analyze massive applications with the help of artificial intelligence, extract key information, and accelerate document review. However, when using technologies, the requirement to constantly monitor the accuracy of legal information remains, as the results of automated systems are not yet fully reliable.
