It's "frighteningly likely" many US courts will overlook AI errors, expert says
- bell-cot 1y agoWhile the article keeps mashing the "AI" fear button - how would the situation be different if "AI" was replaced with old-fashioned outsourcing - to LowBidCo Legal-ish Services Inc.*, which was paying wanna-be human lawyers in Elbonia 10 cents per page, to churn out legal-sounding stuff on typewriters? Either way, half-assed lawyers would be giving gullible/overworked judges a bunch of legal fantasies to sign off on. A pretty damned obvious fix would be to prema-ban the responsible lawyers from the practice of law. Maybe with some "affected cases are re-opened, and ..." rules, to discourage the use of expendable idiot lawyers in higher-stakes cases? But doing that would violate unwritten rules #1 of America's legal/"justice" system - protecting their own. *Yes, a pretend name
