Justitia ex machina: The impact of an AI system on legal decision-making and discretionary authority

Governments increasingly use algorithms to inform or supplant decision-making. Artificial Intelligence systems in particular are considered objective, consistent and efficient decision-makers, but have also been shown to be fallible. Furthermore, the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in government is fraught with challenges which are only partly understood and rarely studied in practice. In this paper, we draw on science and technology studies and human computer interaction and report on a critical case s…

ChatGPT Provides Satisfactory but Occasionally Inaccurate Answers to Common Patient Hip Arthroscopy Questions

PURPOSE: To assess the ability of ChatGPT to answer common patient questions regarding hip arthroscopy, and to analyze the accuracy and appropriateness of its responses. METHODS: Ten questions were selected from well-known patient education websites, and ChatGPT (version 3.5) responses to these questions were graded by 2 fellowship-trained hip preservation surgeons. Responses were analyzed, compared with the current literature, and graded from A to D (A being the highest, and D being the lowest) in a grading sca…
