MANILA, Philippines – The Supreme Court (SC) has started pilot-testing artificial intelligence (AI) as part of its judicial innovation but assured that they are engaging experts to assist in machine language.

“The Supreme Court is capitalizing on AI-enabled tools to enhance court performance, notably in voice-to-text transcription and legal research,” Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo said on the 2nd anniversary of the Strategic Plan for Judicial Innovations (SPJI).

Gesmundo, earlier said AI will only support judicial efficiency but never replace human elements.
