Recently, in a New York courtroom, Jerome Dewald, aged 74, employed a virtually rendered human avatar created by artificial intelligence to present legal arguments in an appeal case. However, his attempt did not meet with the judge's approval. Dewald had hoped to mitigate his lack of legal expertise through this approach, but the judge promptly halted the proceedings upon discovering the truth, accusing him of misleading the court. Dewald explained that he resorted to this "alternative approach" due to his inability to afford a lawyer and acknowledged that the virtual human was developed by a technology company based in San Francisco. This incident has sparked widespread debate within the legal community regarding the use of artificial intelligence and has highlighted the pressing need for the legal industry to address the balance between technology and humanity.
