AI in the US legal system? California Bar sparks controversy with machine-generated questions

The State Bar of California has admitted to using AI to help create questions for its February 2025 bar exam, prompting widespread criticism from legal academics and professionals. As reported by the Los Angeles Times, concerns center around the fairness, validity, and transparency of AI-generated content. Additional issues, including technical failures and recycled questions, have led to lawsuits and calls for audits. The California Supreme Court stated it was unaware of AI’s use until the Bar’s public disclosure.
