Two lawyers in Costa Rica are challenging the methods used by a court-appointed expert witness in a civil property dispute. The challenge centers on allegations that the expert may have utilized artificial intelligence to determine the dimensions of a right-of-way easement. The case involves a property located in Puriscal and concerns a legal battle over access rights. The lawyers are questioning the validity of the expert’s findings if AI was employed, raising concerns about transparency and reliability. They argue that the use of AI was not disclosed and could impact the fairness of the proceedings. The court will now need to determine whether AI was indeed used and, if so, how it affects the expert’s testimony and the overall case. This situation highlights emerging legal questions surrounding the use of AI in evidence and expert analysis.
