Lawyers complain that AI transcription of court proceedings is erroneous, attributing statements to the wrong people and omitting agreements. The court administration offers free human transcription as an alternative.

The artificial intelligence revolution in Israeli courts is facing difficulties: lawyers complain that AI transcription of proceedings is erroneous, attributing statements to the wrong people, omitting agreements, and taking sentences out of context. Attorney Dafna Feller says the protocol has become a 'voice identification puzzle' that undermines the right to rely on evidence. Another lawyer describes a case where agreements reached in the courtroom were not documented, causing confusion. A spokesperson for the judiciary stated that recordings are available within four hours, and human transcription can be ordered at no cost. The article presents the complainants' positions and the system's response.
