AI in the Courtroom: Friend or Foe?

AI in the Courtroom: Friend or Foe?

Exploring the implications of artificial intelligence in the legal sector. In this inaugural episode of Fraternitea, host Nabeela Barawie is joined by Ridwaan Boda, head of ENS’s award-winning technology, media, and telecommunications practice. In this episode we explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the legal world. Together, they unpack the promises and pitfalls of AI in the courtroom, from boosting efficiency and access to justice, to the dangers of “shadow AI,” hallucinated case law, and over-regulation. With insights drawn from Ridwaan’s work on global AI governance and big tech contracts, this episode offers lawyers, judges, and students a practical roadmap for using AI responsibly without losing the human judgment and relationships that remain at the heart of legal practice.
