The Supreme Court Office of the 2023 bar chairman yesterday issued an advisory to warn the public about the existence of fake online training programs.   The SC said that it has come to their attention that certain information is circulating on social media, which can be traced from a Facebook group page called  Bar  Law for  Dummies  Training  Program,  with a certain  Tzidkenu  Dizon  Facebook account, doing the posting.

The court said the posts contain claims that the 2023 Bar Examinations shall be sorted, checked, and corrected by means of artificial intelligence.  "The Office of the 2023 Bar Chair condemns these social media publications as false, baseless, irresponsible, defamatory, contumacious, detestable, and formulated with  apparent  intent  to  erode  the  integrity  of  the  digitalized  Bar  Examinations."

Bar 2023 Associate Justice Ramon Paul Hernando said: I reiterate what has been stated in Bar Bulletin No. 1, Series of 2023: all stakeholders are exhorted to rely exclusively on the Court's official communication channels.   The 2023 Bar Examinations shall be checked by four (4) examiners per subject, all of whom are established experts in their respective fields,  and who are by no means created or powered by artificial intelligence.

The initial probe by the Office of the 2023 Bar Chair has unveiled the identity of the administrator of both  Facebook accounts.  The  Court is currently undertaking proper measures against the said individual,  particularly the prompt engagement of the  National  Bureau of  Investigation in the conduct of the criminal investigation of the nefarious activities and questionable circumstances surrounding this personality.
