The legal industry is increasingly embracing the use of generative AI as a tool to aid lawyers in their work, rather than replacing them. Despite some high-profile mistakes, such as Michael Cohen’s use of fabricated cases generated by Google Bard, lawyers and legal experts argue that AI can be a valuable “copilot” in the practice of law. Danielle Benecke, head of machine-learning practice at Baker McKenzie, notes that AI models are getting good at interpreting and generating complex legal language, making them useful for handling tasks such as regulatory compliance. Cecilia Ziniti, CEO and cofounder of GC AI, predicts that AI will empower lawyers in the next five to 10 years, allowing them to focus on higher-level tasks. While concerns about AI hallucinations and accuracy remain, companies like CoCounsel are working to reduce these risks and ensure the responsible use of AI in the legal profession.
