"AI in the Courtroom: More than a Digital Assistant."
As the legal industry buzzes with AI's potential, Sidley Austin's latest experiment with GPT-4 in document review reveals a nuanced future. In a commentary appearing in Legaltech News, Colleen M. Keeney, Matt S. Jackson, and Robert D. Keeling, write about how GPT-4 isn't just another tech tool — it's a paradigm shift with the potential to redefine e-discovery. They write that with a careful blend of human insight and AI efficiency, the legal profession stands at the cusp of a revolution, balancing the scales between tradition and innovation.
While the Sidley experiment shows GPT-4 can significantly streamline the document review process, they say it also underscores the importance of human oversight. The technology's limitations in understanding context and the nuances of legal documents highlight that, for now, AI is an associate, not the lead counsel. The future of law isn't about whether AI will replace the human element in law, but how it will enhance it, making justice not just blind, but insightful.
