ChatGPT is now gaining legal dominance. In Colombia, a judge admitted to using the intelligent chatbot to make a decision. He asked her if, according to current laws, the insurance of a child with autism must cover all the costs of his medical treatment.
Juan Manuel Padilla, a judge who practices in Cartagena, concluded that the medical and transportation expenses of an autistic child are covered by his health insurance. In the situation that he was brought to examine, the parents could not pay the medical expenses.
He asked ChatGPT the following question: Is a minor exempt from paying fees for their treatments? To which the chatbot replied: “Yes, that’s right. According to current regulations in Colombia, minors diagnosed with autism are exempt from the costs of their treatment.
Despite criticism from his peers, the judge defended himself by saying that he did not make his decision solely thanks to ChatGPT, he also consulted similar accounts in the past. For him, the chatbot will not replace judges, but it could help make the Colombian judicial system more efficient and could “improve the response times of the judicial system.” told the national radio station Blu radio January 31.
The judge even suggests that his colleagues also “get up and running and start delivering their sentence using artificial intelligence.” ChatGPT worries that even if its database is provided, the chatbot also gives completely false answers.
