Sotomayor Warns AI Forecasting Supreme Court Decisions Is a 'Bad Thing'

Justice Sonia Sotomayor has warned that artificial intelligence tools that forecast Supreme Court decisions are a 'bad thing' that could undermine public confidence in the judiciary's independence. The remarks reflect growing concern within the legal establishment about AI's ability to predict — and potentially influence — judicial outcomes. Sotomayor suggested the predictability reveals patterns that the court might want to examine in its own deliberative process.
