This paper analyzes the impact of Artificial intelligence on our cultural mind. I intentionally use the term ‘cultural mind’ instead of ‘culture', recognizing that AI is increasingly shaping our decision-making across law and politics. As most of us cannot spend a single day without a smartphone or the internet, the impact of AI is spreading rapidly, like an infectious disease in a sense. Many scholars, such as Richard Susskind, argue that AI threatens the future existence of certain occupations, including lawyer. Nevertheless, what I am concerned about in this paper is not the claim that AI’s superior intelligence might take over humans’ jobs, but rather AI’s cultural influence, depriving us of our ability to apply justice and distinguish fact from fabrication. Specifically, the presentation will analyze several cases on how AI disrupt the field of justice, such as law and politics. It examines, for instance, the linkage between Charlie Kirk’s Assassination and the use of AI. It argues that the spread of AI prompts each YouTuber to set up their conspiracy theory channels, helping them find excuses and providing some tips for the defendant's lawyers. It also examines other legal cases, such as Handa v Mallick (2024), in which a solicitor submitted lists of non-existent legal cases to the court, generated by AI without verification, and ended his career. Then, the paper will conclude with an evaluation of the fundamental question: in what kind of legal and political culture would we be supposed to live with a random AI invasion?
