#PMDigitalLawHubTrainings: On Misuse of AI in Courts. In his submission, Mr. Christopher Okidi, a legal researcher, emphasized the importance of maintaining advocate autonomy while using AI tools in legal practice. He noted that the past traditions of legal practice are increasingly intersecting with current technological trends, and the future will reveal how traditional modus operandi adapts to — or contests — modern innovations. “Artificial intelligence is not merely introducing a new technological tool into legal practice; it is arguably triggering an epistemic shift in legal reasoning. To understand this, we must examine how law has evolved over time and how legal knowledge itself is constructed,” Mr. Okidi explained. He further posed a critical question: “Traditionally, legal reasoning has been grounded in human rationality and moral judgment. What happens when legal reasoning—traditionally grounded in human judgment—interacts with algorithmic prediction?” According to Mr. Okidi, answering this question requires examining the foundations of legal authority and legal knowledge, rather than merely reacting to immediate technological risks.

#PMDigitalLawHubTrainings: The Positivity with Using AI Tools in Court "Artificial intelligence could introduce a higher level of accountability for both lawyers and judicial officers. It provides a tool against which legal reasoning can be tested. In contexts where the rule of law struggles with arbitrariness, such tools may help mediate arbitrary decision-making. For me, that is something positive." Mr. Christopher Okidi - Legal Researcher

#PMDigitalLawHubTrainings: To the @JudiciaryUG on Misuse of AI in Courts "Judicial officers must remain vigilant and cautious, ensuring that whatever submissions presented before them are properly verified. The judiciary will, in due course, also need to raise awareness about these risks, because the issue is likely to become more prominent as AI becomes more widely used. Fortunately, this is not an entirely new problem. Citing false authorities or fabricating evidence has always been prohibited, long before artificial intelligence existed." Justice Dr. Frederick Stephen Martin Egonda Ntende - Justice of Court of Appeal. Courtesy 📸
