Felix Ringe and Linus Folkerts argue AI can find hidden loopholes in laws. They say legal systems encode rules in natural language like code. Courts usually patch gaps through interpretation. AI could surface inconsistencies faster than courts can address them. They cite German law examples where AI found missing statutory references. They propose lawmakers use AI to harden legislation. Some courts already test AI as law clerks. Experts say AI-identified gaps need human review for validity. Legislatures may adopt AI to spot drafting gaps during cleanup.
