AI Lawyer Talking Tech Podcast
About this episode

This week on 'AI Lawyer Talking Tech,' we examine a profession fundamentally remaking its foundation, driven by exponential advances in artificial intelligence. Legal tech giants, including Harvey, showcase massive financial backing, with over $800 million raised, demonstrating AI's power to automate traditional junior lawyer tasks like drafting and contract analysis, thereby accelerating workflows and promising substantial time and cost savings. However, this swift adoption coexists with mounting professional risks; we explore hundreds of reported instances where AI "hallucinations" led to fabricated case citations, resulting in sanctions for attorneys and retracted court rulings by judges across the globe. This tension emphasizes the crucial need for rigorous governance, demanding that attorneys rely only on professional-grade AI tools built on authoritative, vetted content and adhere to a strict verification imperative to uphold professional credibility and ethics.
