A Colombian Judge Leads Judicial Transformation With Copilot
Microsoft News, Monday, April 7th, 2025
In the Caribbean region of Colombia, a trailblazing judge is pioneering the use of AI to expedite due process and tackle the backlog of cases piling up at her desk.
On a recent day, judge Maria Victoria Quinones faced the task of writing the minutes of a public hearing involving a high-profile lawsuit.
The hearing, conducted on Microsoft Teams, a virtual workspace for meetings, was quickly summarized by the judge's aides with Microsoft Copilot, an AI assistant that helps users with work tasks. The tool identified all attendees and also drafted a summary of the hearing, which was then verified and polished. What used to take six hours was done in a few minutes.
