Evaluating AI for Law: Bridging the Gap with Open-Source Solutions (2404.12349v1)

Published 18 Apr 2024 in cs.AI and cs.HC

Abstract: This study evaluates the performance of general-purpose AI, like ChatGPT, in legal question-answering tasks, highlighting significant risks to legal professionals and clients. It suggests leveraging foundational models enhanced by domain-specific knowledge to overcome these issues. The paper advocates for creating open-source legal AI systems to improve accuracy, transparency, and narrative diversity, addressing general AI's shortcomings in legal contexts.
