With new legal technology that can create a timeline in minutes or surface hot docs with a simple chat interface, we’re leaving behind the days of junior associates pulling all-nighters organizing papers on the conference room table – or spending months combing through emails.
What’s a hallucination in generative AI? Here’s a quick guide: Language-generating AI can produce correct answers – or fabricate incorrect ones. These incorrect answers are called “hallucinations.”
So how much should legal practitioners worry about hallucinations?
“This is not actually a concern about the technology. This is a concern about professional standards, process and workflow…. As lawyers, we always need to make sure we are validating conclusions.” (Umair Mahajir)
