In 2023, The Guardian reported an asylum case in which a machine translation turned a refugee’s singular “I” into “we,” and a judge rejected her claim. One incident isn’t a statistic, but it shows how a silent shift can decide a real person’s future. Since then, a 2025 hospital study and a wave of court sanctions have pointed the same way. So the real question isn’t whether to use AI. It’s which documents AI can touch, and who signs off before anyone relies on the result.<\/p>\n
