A judge in Colombia has raised alarm in the legal world by revealing that he used the Artificial Intelligence site ChatGPT to help him decide a case involving an autistic child.
Judge Juan Manuel Padilla García, who presides over a court in the Caribbean city of Cartagena, announced that he had used the system in his January 30 ruling.
It was asked to rule on whether a health insurance company could refuse to pay the fees for medical appointments, therapy and transportation for an autistic boy named Salvador, given his parents’ limited income.
Padilla, who ruled in favor of the child and against the health insurance, said he asked the bot: ‘Is the autistic minor exempt from paying the fees for his therapies?’ among other questions.
He replied: ‘Yes, this is correct. According to regulations in Colombia, minors diagnosed with autism are exempt from paying fees for their therapies.’
Juan Manuel Padilla García, a Cartagena judge, said on January 30 that he used ChatGPT to investigate his decision in a case involving an autistic child.

The judge argued that ChatGPT performs services that were previously provided by a secretary and did so “in an organized, simple and structured manner” which could “improve response times” in the justice system.
Padilla told him blue radio that the program helped judges and was not a threat to the legal system.
He said that ChatGPT and other similar programs could be useful to “make it easier to write texts.”
But, he said, the system was “not intended to replace” judges.
Padilla insisted that “by asking questions to the application we do not stop being judges, thinking beings.”
Padilla said he thinks other judges will use ChatGPT to investigate, like he did.
Millions of people around the world use ChatGPT to generate written responses
ChatGPT uses artificial intelligence and vast amounts of data from the Internet to generate answers to questions posed by human users.
Professor Juan David Gutiérrez of the Universidad del Rosario was among those who expressed their disbelief at the judge’s admission.
Gutierrez, an expert on AI regulation and governance, said he asked ChatGPT the same questions and got different answers.
“It is certainly not responsible or ethical to use ChatGPT as intended by the judge in the ruling in question,” he wrote on Twitter.
He called for urgent “digital literacy” training for judges.
Created by California-based company OpenAI, ChatGPT has taken the world by storm since its launch in November, with its ability to write essays, articles, poems, and computer code in mere seconds.
Critics have expressed fears that it could be used for widespread cheating in schools and universities.
OpenAI has warned that its tool can make mistakes.
But Padilla said he thinks other judges will follow suit.
“I suspect many of my colleagues will jump on this and start building their glitches ethically with the help of artificial intelligence,” he said.
The system has such promising capabilities that Microsoft recently announced a new “multi-million dollar, multi-year investment” to grow the technology.
The firm’s endorsement of the artificial intelligence bot comes as it lays off 10,000 employees and experts warn that AI is making high-paid workers increasingly vulnerable.

“AI is replacing white-collar workers,” said Pengcheng Shi, associate dean of the Department of Computer and Information Sciences at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
‘I don’t think anyone can stop that. This is not a crying wolf,” Shi said. the new york post office. The wolf is at the door.
Since it was released to the public for free in November by the OpenAI company, the chatbot has caused a stir online, amassing close to a million users in its first week.
The system is trained on a large data set and is designed for continuous improvement, allowing it to generate answers to almost any question.
Through a simple text message, the technician has the ability to solve almost any problem you face, with variable accuracy depending on your task.
The tool passed several law school exams when put to the test by professors at the University of Minnesota, where it averaged a passing C+ grade on student papers.
In the law exam essay questions, the bot was able to accurately recite legal rules and correctly describe cases.
ChatGPT also recently scored higher than many humans on an MBA exam at Penn’s elite Wharton School, where it received a respectable B grade.
The professor who administered the test said the chatbot could perform “professional tasks” such as “writing software code and preparing legal documents.”
The tool’s capabilities have led experts to warn that the ever-improving system could spell doom for numerous industries.
Among the career fields that could soon be dominated by artificial intelligence are finance, graphic design and education.
One industry in particular danger is software technology and design, a field that has already been rocked of late as Silicon Valley has suffered massive layoffs.
Pengcheng Shi, associate dean of the Rochester Institute of Technology’s Department of Computer and Information Sciences, warned that AI could cost you administrative work.

Microsoft laid off nearly five percent of its workforce as 10,000 employees lost their jobs this month at the same time the company committed billions to the future of ChatGPT.
“We are announcing the third phase of our long-term partnership with OpenAI through a multi-million dollar, multi-year investment to accelerate advancements in AI to ensure these benefits are widely shared with the world,” the company said in a statement.
The new wave of funding comes after Microsoft already invested $1 billion in Open AI in 2019.
Gil Luria, technology strategist at financial firm DA Davidson, said the move showed the company was relying on artificial intelligence to drive growth.
“It tells you a lot that within a week of announcing some pretty big layoffs, Microsoft is also announcing a substantial investment in OpenAI,” Luria told Yahoo Finance.
“It tells you that this is where they believe much of Microsoft’s future growth can come from, and that the technology that OpenAI is developing can drive significant improvements across a broad set of products for them.”
