Courts across the world are taking the lead on regulating AI, as governments adopt light-touch reforms or squib it entirely.
Lazy litigants and their lawyers have been the primary targets, but courts are also using AI to assist with deliberations.
A global study of AI litigation by researchers at the University of São Paulo in Brazil recorded 500 AI cases across 39 countries involving private individuals, corporations and government agencies.
The largest category comprises cases involving the legal profession (92), ahead of intellectual property (56) and the administrative use of AI (49).
