“It is an immense window, today it can be ChatGPT, but in three months it could be any other alternative that facilitates the drafting of texts and that the judge leans on them, not with the aim of being replaced,” said the judge in the case, Juan Manuel Padilla, in an interview with Blu Radio this Thursday.
The ruling dated January 30 resolved a mother’s request for her autistic son to be exempted from paying for medical appointments, therapies, and transportation to hospitals, since the family does not have the financial resources to take care of it.
Padilla ruled in favor of the minor and in the sentence he reveals that he interrogated the ChatGPT conversational robot to support his decision.
“Is an autistic minor exempted from paying moderator fees for his therapies?” Asks the judge and the application responds: “Yes, that’s correct. According to Colombian regulations, minors diagnosed with autism are exempt from paying moderator fees for their therapies.”
The sentence records four similar questions and answers.
“The judges are not stupid, by asking questions to the application we do not stop being judges, of being thinking beings,” explains Padilla.
According to the togado, ChatGPT does what “a secretary” used to do, “in an organized, simple and structured way”which “could improve response times in the judicial branch.”
Criticism for the use of ChatGPT in bugs
The Universidad del Rosario de Bogotá questioned this Thursday the use of artificial intelligence (AI) by judicial operators to argue their decisions, regarding Padilla’s decision.
Juan David Gutiérrez, a professor at the Faculty of International, Political and Urban Studies at the Universidad del Rosario and an expert in artificial intelligence governance, this tool “tends to offer imprecise, incorrect answers and that include false information.”
“It is not true that ChatGPT is capable of offering the best answer on a consulted topic, the only thing the tool can do is predict the probability of a string of words given the context that precedes it, that is, the query that the user makes “, the academic specified.
Recently, the Institute of Political Sciences of Paris, one of the leading French universities known as Sciences Po, banned the use of ChatGPT, a chatbot based on artificial intelligence capable of generating coherent prose, for avoid fraud and plagiarism.
What is ChatGPT

Since November, the artificial intelligence ChatGPT has spread around the world with supporters and skeptics.
According to a note released by BBCNewsHis possibilities are so wide that he can teach cooking recipes, tips for job interviews, write poetry and academic projects, which opened the discussion about a change in the labor ecosystem.
