I've been saying this for over a year now --- AI is a legal liability issue waiting to happen.

And not just in the legal field. The problem boils down to the very fundamental fact that AI is based on probability and statistics.

The results can't be legally defended in many cases because they are not derived from a reasonable, logical, reproduceable decision making process.

Here is an example from the medical industry. Really *important* results shouldn't be decided by a dice roll.

Pessimistic prediction: Companies are already using mandatory arbitration provisions in contracts, some will want a not-really "Expert System" to do the arbitration.

That said, an unscrupulous and lazy judge can already betray their position by outsourcing to an LLM in a personal capacity.

Apparently The Register changed the title of this article. Someone posted it 10 hours before this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47749485
