Strong Reaction from the Defense Team
A defendant's legal team described the prosecutor's practices as shocking, pointing out that courts are struggling with this widespread use of technology.
Assessments by Legal Experts
Former prosecutor Alana Matthews stated that the legal profession is trying to keep up with the new technology, emphasizing that artificial intelligence tries to please the user and its outputs may not be based on truth.
Prosecution and Court Process
