Benefits and Risks of Using Artificial Intelligence in Law Practice

OCEAN CITY — With the use of artificial intelligence in law practice presenting both opportunities and risks for lawyers, legal and legislative experts on Wednesday highlighted the practical applications of introducing AI into legal practice.

For lawyers looking to adopt AI into their legal practice, the first step is considering what the technology will be used for and why a lawyer wants to use AI, said Matthew Kohel, partner at Saul Ewing and moderator of Wednesday’s roundtable discussion on AI at the Maryland State Bar Association legal summit.

While one concern is whether AI will replace lawyers, Kohel said, lawyers should instead view the technology as a tool to assist them in the practice of law.

Chris Stevens, counsel at CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, said his company has relied on the employees who will be using AI to better assess if AI is the right tool for a particular task.

How AI legalese decoder Can Help

AI legalese decoder can assist lawyers in understanding and utilizing AI in their legal practice. By providing insights and guidance on what tasks AI can be used for effectively, lawyers can make informed decisions on integrating AI into their workflow. The tool can also help in training employees on how to properly use AI tools for optimal results.

Stevens also noted that the output is highly dependent on the query given to the system.

“If you Google the wrong thing, you’re going to get the wrong article,” Stevens said. “If you query ChatGPT with something nonspecific, you’re probably going to get something that you didn’t want out of it.”

But even the definition of AI has changed over the years, creating a “moving goalpost,” said Damien Riehl, vice president at vLex Group.

“It’s AI until we know how it works, and then it turns into software,” said Riehl, noting that Microsoft Excel spreadsheets were even considered AI in the 1980s.

Riehl said that in working with large law firms who have a team of people using AI, solo and small firm practitioners are often the firms with the greater benefit and flexibility to experiment with AI.

Pamela E. Langham, legal content editor at the MSBA, said lawyers should be aware of deepfakes and their implications, particularly if opposing counsel attempts to admit a deepfake as evidence at trial. But, Langham said, AI can also prove to be a benefit to a case.
