Ethical Considerations and Accountability

The use of AI in legal work raises important ethical questions:

• Lawyers remain responsible and accountable for the outputs of AI systems they use, even if provided by third parties.[100]

• Firms must ensure they have systems in place to meet their professional responsibilities when using AI.[101]

• Clients should be appropriately informed about how AI is involved in their cases.[102]

• In-house legal teams need to develop clear policies and guidelines for the ethical use of AI in their work.
