The Legal world and technology/AI

Technology has become so prevalent in all aspects of everyday life including our careers. I am a law student who will be going onto a big law job when I graduate and (hopefully) pass the Bar Exam. How does anyone in, or not in the legal field, feel that AI and other technologies can be used to better assist our clients and help us to become better advocates?

Is there also a feeling that AI or other technology will usurp the legal profession and begin to supplant humans?

Let's discuss!

  • I think people are relying a little too much on AI right now. Chatbot technology is currently notoriously inaccurate and will often just invent facts and sources for facts that are completely fake.

    There's at least one infamous case where a lawyer used ChatGPT to submit a federal court legal filing that cited at least six cases that don’t exist. ChatGPT cited nonexistent cases it just made up. The lawyer even asked ChatGPT if the cases were real and it insisted they were.

    I think AI will improve as time goes by, but it's not really there yet to use for anything critical.
