Can AI Make the Legal System More Transparent and Accessible?
As reported by AP news, the Supreme Court in Arizona has launched two AI avatars called Daniel and Victoria to explain court rulings in simple terms to make the judicial system more publicly accessible. So instead of publishing length, complex legal documents filled with jargon that the average individual can't wrap their head around, the two AI avatars deliver easy to follow video summaries within 30 minutes of the ruling, a game changer compared to traditional video production time lines.
AI Avatars Launched After Controversial Ruling
The initiative was pursued after public confusion and backlash over a controversial ruling that prompted the courts to innovate a a better way to communicate its decisions.
These video summaries can also be quick and digestible in a way that can help build trust in the legal system but some are concerned that the explanations might be unreliable, oversimplified, or misinterpret legal nuances, raising important questions about trust, transparency, and responsible AI.
AI in Public Institutions is Growing
With the use of AI in public institutions is growing, financial regulators may not be far behind. Fintech companies, banks, and regulators globally are already using AI for automated fraud detection, risk assessment, and compliance.

So we shouldn't be surprised if AI avatars are soon explaining financial regulations and complex tax rules to the public and companies. If so, how do we ensure accuracy and accountability, or will people trust AI to be the messenger?
Conclusion
Canada has yet to test AI in legal or regulatory communications in this way and at this scale but the possibilities are worth considering. Artificial intelligence could play a role in making financial and legal systems more transparent but ethical concerns must be addressed. One to watch and learn, whether this is the future of public engagement and a smarter way to administer at scale.
