AIs Hacking the Law

A recent concept explores how artificial intelligence systems can find vulnerabilities in the legal system, similar to how they exploit weaknesses in computer systems. The legal system, encoded in natural language, can contain vulnerabilities that can be exploited. Courts often mitigate these exploits through interpretation, and such vulnerabilities are rarely exposed. However, highly capable AI systems may be able to discover these vulnerabilities on a large scale. This idea has been discussed in previous writings, including a 2021 essay and a 2022 book, with demonstrations from Germany illustrating the concept. AI systems may change the way these legal vulnerabilities are discovered and potentially exploited.
