Chief Justice Patricia Guerrero earlier this month addressed a statewide technology summit hosted by the Judicial Council to discuss cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. A California Courts news release by Martin Novitski reported:
In her remarks to summit participants, California Chief Justice Patricia Guerrero acknowledged that AI can benefit court users. “Whatever new needs and opportunities will arise, I’m confident we will remain committed to innovation, to collaboration, and to aligning technology with our judicial branch goals,” she said, emphasizing the importance of collaboration throughout the constantly evolving landscape of technology.
“And with all of you together, we will continue to shape the future for the courts, ensuring that technology serves as a bridge to justice.”
Retired Justice Ming Chin also spoke at the summit. He “presented the 2026 Justice Chin Technology Innovation Award to the Los Angeles Superior Court for its CourtHelp program, an AI-powered chatbot that helps web users navigate their court’s website.”
