  "summary": "The judiciary in Malaysia plans to issue AI guidelines for lawyers and court officers within the coming weeks, according to Chief Justice Tun Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh. This follows concerns over the reliability of AI-generated legal submissions, which can appear convincing despite containing inaccurate information. While AI can expedite court proceedings and save time for judges and lawyers, Wan Ahmad Farid cautioned against excessive reliance on AI, warning that it could undermine human reasoning and critical thinking. He emphasized the importance of intellectual honesty and urged judges and legal practitioners to ensure their judgments reflected a proper appreciation of the facts and law, even as technology continues to transform the profession.",
