Legal warning over Govt AI use
Update: 2025-10-22
Description
A senior lawyer warns the government's increasing use of AI could result in legal challanges. Simpson Grierson partner Nick Chapman says the scene is set for a perfect storm of legal challenges from the increasing use of AI by the public sector - and he warns there is a gap in the law around that use. DOC has been using AI to process applications for conservation land uses, while Medsafe and Pharmac are both using the technology to help with large datasets. Earlier this year, Digitising Government Minister Judith Collins announced AI training courses for workers across the public sector to help with decision-making. Simpson Grierson partner Nick Chapman says he expects parties unhappy with Government decisions will begin digging into whether AI was involved, and test the legal parameters of that. Nick specialises in disputes between commercial entities and public decision-makers.
