Q. See question above regarding the use of new computer programs and digital libraries as a help for learning Torah.
2) Can you use the computer program above to question it on Halacha and what a person should do on a specific cases? What is permitted and what is not?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that one cannot consult directly any computer program or any artificial intelligence system to decide what the Halacha is in a specific case or question as deciding Halacha is a human undertaking given to Poskim and qualified Rabbonim.
However, the above, may consult from the program sources and information pertaining the shaila they are dealing with, yet the decision should be done by a qualified and competent Posek or Rabbi and not by a machine.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by Horav Dovid Pam, Horav Aharon Miller and Horav Chanoch Ehrentreu Shlit'a.
