According to an article in the National Law Review, Judge Newsom of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals proposed the use of generative AI for interpreting contract terms. In a concurring opinion, Judge Newsom discussed how AI, such as ChatGPT, could assist in understanding the "ordinary meaning" of contract terms. The context arose from an insurance dispute involving the definition of "landscaping." The judge experimented with ChatGPT to explore if an in-ground trampoline installation could be considered "landscaping," receiving a coherent response. He argued that AI could complement traditional tools like dictionaries, suggesting AI might provide insights into common language usage. However, he acknowledged the risks of AI "hallucinations" and emphasized the need for careful, corroborative use alongside other interpretative methods. Judge Newsom’s opinion highlights both the potential and challenges of integrating AI into legal interpretation, sparking discussion on its future role in law.
