| Legal AI tools are generally not used for decision making Once AI is widely deployed and being used, it's not possible to judge or *know* the full extent of it's influence on any decision making process --- within a legal environment or elsewhere. It's pretty safe to say that without some influence, there wouldn't be much reason to use it. One thing we do know for sure is that AI is inherently probabilistic --- i.e. not necessarily logical, reliable or trustworthy. The same can be said of people but at least people tend to document their decision making process in "important" cases for later review. we also provide access to all those settings that were demanded by the judge Knowing the settings still doesn't make any AI results reasonable, logical, free of errors or prudent. The legal judgments thus far are pretty clear. If AI is used in "important" cases, you better be able to document and justify any conclusions without deferring to the AI "black box". The irony is that this need for documentation and the work required to produce it negates much of the incentive for using AI to begin with. https://www.lawfuel.com/lawyers-sanctioned-again-for-relying... |
