Lawyers to the wealthy warn that AI legal advice comes with serious risks

Day Pitney Trusts and Estates Partner Tasha Dickinson was featured in CNBC, where she discussed a growing trend of clients using AI to analyze legal matters, creating potential legal risks and often requiring attorneys to correct AI-driven misconceptions.

Addressing her primary concern with this trend, Dickinson said, “What’s keeping me awake at night as it relates to AI? It’s not that AI is sometimes wrong, because I can correct those mistakes. And it’s not that people are double-checking my work on AI, because I have a lot of confidence in my work. What I am concerned about is that when people put documents and do these searches into AI, they’re waiving the attorney-client privilege, and that is a huge issue.”
