GoKawiilOutgoing UK judge Geoffrey Vos urges courts to explore AI-adjudicated cases
Geoffrey Vos, retiring as England's Master of the Rolls, says courts should consider letting AI help decide certain civil cases after observing AI-assisted judging in Shenzhen, China. Current UK guidance limits judicial AI use to administrative tasks like document retrieval and summarization, which Vos says he does via Microsoft Copilot. He suggests simpler cases, like personal injury or low-value negligence claims, could eventually be handled by AI rather than human judges.
