A recent case involving AI firm Anthropic highlights the risks of using AI for legal documentation. An attorney admitted to citation errors generated by the AI tool, Claude, which were not verified properly before submission. While AI can assist in formatting, the failure to check its output has led to inaccuracies that could have legal ramifications. This incident illustrates the ongoing challenge in legal tech: reliance on AI without adequate human oversight can lead to significant issues in formal documents.
"After the Latham & Watkins team identified the source as potential additional support for Ms. Chen's testimony, I asked Claude.ai to provide a properly formatted legal citation for that source using the link to the correct article."
"Unfortunately, although providing the correct publication title, publication year, and link to the provided source, the returned citation included an inaccurate title and incorrect authors. Our manual citation check did not catch that error."
