Litigants in Singapore could in the future tap generative artificial intelligence — which answers questions based on pre-loaded data — to help them with their claims or defence.
Some law firms around the world have already been exploring the use of AI to help legal professionals with tasks such as the initial research and summarising of documents.Expanding on how AI can help litigants, Justice Abdullah gave the example of a person seeking a claim for a washing machine he bought that is faulty.
This AI would have been fed specific information that is based on Singapore's law, past cases and court systems, said Mr Tan Ken Hwee, the judiciary's chief transformation and innovation officer. Probate cases, where a person dies with an enforceable will and their family wishes to settle their estate, have also been simplified for non-complex cases — the record time being almost seven days and 18 hours.
Justice Abdullah said there would probably be some impact, especially on younger lawyers, whose work and legal research may be affected by the use of generative AI.
