Chief Justice John Roberts devoted his year-end report on the federal courts to a rumination about the perils and promise of artificial intelligence, skirting entirely the ethics controversies that bedeviled the Supreme Court over the past year and the momentous role the court is set to play in the 2024 presidential election.

In the report issued Sunday, Roberts predicted that the judicial system “will be significantly affected by AI” as the technology is adopted by law firms, legal clients and judges themselves.

But the chief justice wrote that AI is a mixed bag for the legal profession and the courts, streamlining some tasks while creating dangers of fraud, discrimination and intrusions on privacy.

Yes he predicts that computer technology is going to have an influence. Truly a profound insight into the future. How on earth could any single man have such vision as to see that there is some future in computers? We should carve these words into stone beneath a statue of the man so a thousand generations can understand how far his vision extended.

Well, I think we'll start seeing the SC citing non-existent case law soon. You mean they already are?

Piece of shit is only going to be remembered that he was blowing the Pope so much he can tell you if the Pope is cut or not.

I think they’ve been pretty clear that they can be bought. Sounds like they’re just asking big tech outright to start paying for their vacations.
