              in Sri Lanka may face resource constraints, including inadequate
              infrastructure,  insufficient  technology,  and  a  shortage  of  trained
              personnel.  This  can  impact  the  efficiency  of  court  proceedings.
              Therefore, for successful implementation,  attention  should be
              given to steps and considerations.
              Steps and considerations
              The adoption of AI in Sri Lanka’s legal system requires addressing
              key considerations, including robust Data Governance and Security,
              adherence to Ethical and Legal Standards, and conducting a
              thorough  Cost-Benefit  Analysis.  Collaboration  with  International
              Organizations is crucial for aligning with global best practices, while
              a detailed Socio-Economic Impact Assessment is needed to gauge
              broader effects on justice and employment. Additionally, effective
              Capacity Building and Training programs must be implemented to
              prepare legal professionals for AI integration.

              Data Governance and Security
              It  is important to  implement robust data  governance  policies  to
              manage and protect sensitive legal information and ensure that AI
              applications  adhere to strict cyber security measures to prevent
              unauthorized access and data breaches. For this purpose, investments
              must focus on the necessary technological infrastructure to support
              AI applications in the legal system. Ensuring that there are reliable
              internet connectivity  and data security measures in place and
              implementing strong cyber security measures to protect sensitive
              legal information and prevent unauthorized access or manipulation
              is crucial for this . In June 2023, the United States of America
                              26
              New York Court gave an important decision related to AI. That
              case involved two New York City lawyers who cited fake cases
              generated by Chat GPT, resulting in widespread publicity and a
