Spanish Judge Fined For Using AI In Sentence

A new law in Spain requires mutual consent for sexual encounters, defining sex without it as rape punishable by up to 15 years in prison. However, the law has caused an unintended side effect where numerous sexual offenders have received sentence reductions or early release. The law removed the previous requirement for victims to prove they had said no, resisted, or cried. Under the law, sex is only considered consensual with mutual agreement, and lack of consent can lead to up to 15 years of imprisonment. A Spanish law has led to reduced sentences for certain offenses. The error occurred because the judge used artificial intelligence to assist in writing the ruling.
