Estonian legal expert Kärt Pormeister warns of the growing danger of lawyers relying on artificial intelligence in legal proceedings. She expresses greater concern over lawyers believing AI-generated falsehoods, known as “hallucinations,” than non-lawyers doing so. The potential for these AI errors to impact real legal cases is a significant threat. Pormeister highlights that even qualified legal professionals can be misled by convincingly presented, yet inaccurate, AI outputs. This raises questions about professional responsibility and the need for critical evaluation of AI’s role in the legal field. The piece emphasizes the importance of skepticism and human oversight when utilizing AI tools in legal contexts to prevent miscarriages of justice. Ultimately, Pormeister suggests the risk isn’t simply over-reliance by laypeople, but acceptance of falsehoods by those with legal expertise.
