“The courts are very good at bringing the public yesterday’s technology tomorrow,” quipped Senior Judge Jerome Abrams of Minnesota state court, as he moderated a panel of judges speaking on issues related to artificial intelligence earlier this week.

But in the latter parts of the conversation, Abrams and the panelists discussed how dispute resolution itself soon could be shaped by generative AI.
