全美首个州法院自研 AI：路易斯安那第五巡回上诉法院购入两台 AI 服务器
位于密西西比河对岸、与新奥尔良隔河相望的路易斯安那州格雷特纳市第五巡回上诉法院，约一个月前安装了两台 AI 服务器，用于开发辅助法官与法院工作人员的新工具。据路透社10月22日报道，斯科特·施莱格尔法官与首席法官苏珊·切哈迪本周二在 Substack 发文披露了这一计划，称法院在继续试用市售 AI 产品的同时，也要打造自己的 AI 应用，"与其把宝全押在一种路线上，不如两条路都走，在实践中学习"。
法院购入的是两台搭载英伟达芯片的戴尔服务器，购入时单价约6.5万美元。施莱格尔告诉路透社，该法院似乎是全美首个宣布此类举措的州法院，法院不为任何产品背书，其他法院应评估自身需求。项目与非营利组织"法律与伦理 AI 促进研究所"（ALEA Institute）合作，初期聚焦文件提交时的受理与合规流程，未来还希望实现：提示卷宗中不存在的判例、检查文件中暗藏的操纵 AI 的隐藏指令，以及协助法官助理起草备忘录。施莱格尔强调原则是"增强而非取代"。西北大学3月发布的一项随机抽样调查显示，60% 的法官在工作中至少使用一种 AI 工具。
First State Court in the Nation to Build Its Own AI: Louisiana Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal Buys Two AI Servers
The Louisiana Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal in Gretna, across the Mississippi River from New Orleans, installed two AI servers about a month ago to develop new tools for judges and court staff. According to Reuters on October 22, Judge Scott Schlegel and Chief Judge Susan Chehardy disclosed the plan in a Substack post on Tuesday, saying the court, while continuing to try commercial AI products, also wants to build its own AI applications: rather than betting everything on one path, the court will pursue both and learn by doing.
The court purchased two Dell servers equipped with Nvidia chips at about $65,000 each. Schlegel told Reuters the court appears to be the first state court in the nation to announce such a move; the court does not endorse any product, and other courts should evaluate their own needs. The project is a partnership with the nonprofit ALEA Institute (Advancing Law and Ethics in AI), initially focusing on intake and compliance in the filing process, with future goals including flagging cited cases that do not exist in the record, checking filings for hidden instructions designed to manipulate AI, and assisting law clerks in drafting bench memoranda. Schlegel stressed the principle is 'augment, not replace.' A randomized survey released by Northwestern University in March found that 60% of judges use at least one AI tool in their work.
