Chief Jus­tice Ron­nie Boodoos­ingh has ac­knowl­edged the ben­e­fits of Ar­ti­fi­cial In­tel­li­gence (AI) pro­grammes in com­pil­ing and analysing da­ta but warned that they should not re­place hu­man rea­son­ing and le­gal ex­pe­ri­ence.

Boodoos­ingh made the re­marks dur­ing his fea­ture ad­dress at the open­ing of the Law As­so­ci­a­tion of Trinidad and To­ba­go's (LATT) Bi­en­ni­al Law Con­fer­ence at the Hy­att Re­gency Con­fer­ence Cen­tre to­day.

He ac­knowl­edged that AI soft­ware was con­ve­nient, jok­ing that he en­tered his com­plet­ed speech in­to one such pro­gramme and re­ceived a 90 per cent rat­ing.
