Compliance officers, please ignore all those adverts for the use of Artificial Intelligence in research of the law. If you haven't seen enough of those examples where American lawyers were called out by judges for citing court decisions that were completely fictional, and did not exist, but created out of thin air by AI, look at what happened to Michael Cohen.
No longer having access to traditional legal research resources, he admitted in a recent court filing to using GOOGLE BARD, with the result that he received bogus legal citations. When it comes to important legal research, compliance officers who use AI to find case law, and who cite to the cases that they find, will lose all credibility with whomever they deliver that research to, and should be accused of malpractice in their profession, as AI's total and complete failure as a legal research tool that fabricates cases is now well known.
"As a non-lawyer, I have not kept up with emerging trends (and related risks) in legal technology, and did not realize that Google Bard was a generative text service, that like Chat-GPT, could show citations and descriptions that looked real but were actually were not", Cohen said. "Instead, I understood it to be a supercharged search-engine, and had repeatedly used it in other contexts,to (successfully) find information online."
I rest my case.
