The use of artificial intelligence is quickly expanding in the legal arena, but what are the implications of “robot” attorneys and plaintiffs and judges using ChatGPT?
On a recent visit to Mexico, I spoke with a 20-something Mexican crypto enthusiast who says he has used OpenAI’s ChatGPT to write legal briefs, some of which Mexican attorneys have used in court. At the moment, there are no rules or regulations against such an action, but Mexico is one of the dozens of nations that recently announced intentions to regulate artificial intelligence in some capacity.

“The thing (ChatGPT) is an expert in any legal code available on the internet, and can easily process what laws, jurisprudence, treaties, mandates, etc have to be considered,” Roy, the 20-something Mexican man told me. He says ChatGPT not only considers the various legal precedents that must be considered but also develops a legal strategy based on those precedents.
Asked if he believes any judge or attorney could detect the presence of AI-assisted legal briefs, he seemed more interested in talking about the quality of the work of ChatGPT.
“Perhaps, it’s too early to say if courts can notice a difference, but one thing is for sure: it does the work faster, with much higher quality at a very low cost,“ Roy said.
While Mexico’s younger generations explore AI tools like ChatGPT, the nation has begun to talk about regulating the use of AI in the private sector and within the government. In April, Deputy Ignacio Loyola Vera proposed passing the “Law for the Ethical Regulation of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics.” Loyola has argued that AI needs to be regulated immediately and that waiting until AI is everywhere “will be too late.”
In May 2022, Mexico’s INAI (National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection) released AI recommendations on the “appropriate and ethical use of personal information through” various AI applications and “compliance with the obligations of the duty of security of personal data.” It touches on topics including AI in education, the public and private sectors, and cloud computing.
