Head of Disputes and Senior Associate Quoted in Law360 on AI Risks for Legal Professionals
Head of Disputes Partner Edward Starling and Senior Associate Laura Davies have been quoted in a recent Law360 article exploring the growing risks associated with the use of artificial intelligence in legal practice following the High Court’s decision in Cork v Smith.
The article examines the implications of a law firm’s reliance on fictitious AI-generated legal authorities and highlights the continuing responsibility of lawyers to verify AI outputs, maintain professional standards and uphold their duties to the court. It also considers the potential negligence risks arising from the misuse of AI, the evolving legal framework surrounding AI liability, and the importance of effective governance, training and supervision.
Edward Starling and Laura Davies discuss the professional and regulatory challenges posed by AI, emphasising that while the technology offers significant benefits, it cannot replace legal judgment, critical analysis or proper verification procedures.
