[UK Civil Justice Master of the Rolls, Geoffrey Vos: AI Can Adjudicate Simple Civil Cases] Golden Finance reported on October 28th that WIRED published an interview with Geoffrey Vos, the Master of the Rolls, the highest-ranking civil justice in England. Vos, who will retire a few days later, stated in an interview at the Royal Courts of Justice in London that simple civil cases such as personal injury claims and low-value professional misconduct can be adjudicated by AI, while complex commercial, family, and guardianship cases still require human judges, and the boundaries should be defined by society and legislation. He stated that current judicial AI guidelines in England only allow its use in administrative matters, and he personally uses Microsoft Copilot daily to retrieve documents and summary texts. After a recent visit to the Shenzhen courts, he believes that the practice of local judges using AI to adjudicate civil disputes is worth emulating by other countries. He cited data showing a 10% annual increase in county court cases, related to litigants using Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude to draft complaints; he also noted that some lawyers in the UK have been punished for using AI to fabricate precedents, and the first case of a lawyer having their license revoked for abusing AI has occurred.
