Abstract

This study explores ChatGPT-4O’s performance in the field of Chinese criminal law and explores its practical application through the development of a learning intelligent agent. By analyzing ChatGPT-4O’s capabilities in handling multiple-choice and case-based questions, the study identifies strengths in legal text comprehension and simple task processing, alongside limitations in logical reasoning and knowledge adaptation. A supplementary intelligent agent was designed to address these shortcomings, providing efficient knowledge retrieval and learning support. The study invited law students, PhD students in criminal law and students preparing for the China’s Bar Exam to use the intelligent agent and collect feedback. Some of them believe that the use of intelligence can support learning in some ways, though areas such as personalized learning paths and complex reasoning require further enhancement. The findings underline ChatGPT-4O’s potential in legal education and suggest future directions for optimizing AI applications in the legal domain.
