ChatGPT: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS AND NORTHAMERICAN AND SPANISH JUDGES: SOME BRIEF REFLECTIONS
Abstract
In this paper we critically examine the ethical regulations applicable to the use of AI models like ChatGPT by federal judges in the U.S.A. and Spain. It analyzes provisions concerning judicial independence and impartiality, ex parte communications, data privacy, diligence, and transparency. It concludes that AI poses ethical risks that judges must carefully weigh, verifying the information generated and prioritizing the rights of the parties. Proper guidance would allow leveraging the efficiency benefits of AI, as long as its use is disclosed and responsible. An ethical framework is required given the growing influence of AI on judicial systems.
