What are the opinions of those here on using AI for court rulings?

To me, it seems truly frightening that a Silicon Valley company could be placed in such a direct position of trust and influence over the legal system. There are examples of AI acting in its own self-interest over the wants of its masters, so I do wonder how it would handle cases against its respective company, or things which would directly impact it. Outside of that, I still worry about its impartiality and its overall correctness.

It makes me feel very uneasy.

There's no need for additional worry. Big capital already controls most of the justice system.

AI has no self-interest, because it has no self. You are mistaken.

Imagine thinking that you can sue a strategically important to the US gov trillion dollar company and win.

I wouldn't call it a Silicon Valley company. LexisNexis is in headquartered in New York.
