Judicial regulation of artificial intelligence
Overview
Judicial authorities in Quebec and Perugia are establishing regulatory frameworks to govern the use of artificial intelligence within the legal system.
In Quebec, courts have issued guidelines restricting generative AI to administrative tasks like translation or rephrasing. The judiciary emphasized that AI cannot be used for judicial reasoning, assessing evidence, or deliberation, noting that the technology lacks “judgment, conscience, and accountability.” This move follows an instance where the Superior Court of Quebec annulled an arbitral award because an arbitrator had improperly delegated core reasoning to an AI.
Similarly, the Prosecutor General’s Office at the Court of Appeal of Perugia has adopted guidelines to transition toward an “augmented intelligence office.” While the framework allows AI to assist with document review, jurisprudential research, and analyzing case files, it maintains that technology cannot replace human decision-making or judgment.
