A large-scale experiment in Pakistan involving a custom AI tool called JudgeGPT has shown a 6.3% increase in resolved cases among trial judges. The tool, developed in consultation with the judiciary, combines OpenAI's GPT-4 with a knowledge base of Pakistani legal opinions and statutes, utilizing retrieval-augmented generation to reduce hallucinations. Judges who received extensive training on the AI's capabilities and limitations demonstrated a greater positive impact on case resolution, with a slight decrease in appeal rates suggesting no compromise in decision quality.
