The results are often phenomenal. JPMorgan now saves 36,000 hours per year analyzing commercial-loan agreements, thanks to an application called COIN (for Contract Intelligence) developed by their internal team.
But there are risks. For example, AI can’t analyze what it can’t read, and what it reads is text. On average, 20% to 30% of the documents in a firm – in folders and buried in email – are images. Image-based files such as faxes and scanned documents can only be interpreted as pictures by AI and document management systems. Like a self-driving car that can’t see the color red, AI can make decisions based on incomplete information – potentially to disastrous results.
In addition to negative client outcomes, firms can incur penalties for breaches in professional conduct. Comment 8 on The ABA’s Rule 1.1 requires that the competence of a lawyer extends to the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology. At least 27 states have adopted some form of this Model Rule. While AI software can increase the speed with which decisions can be made, failure to employ the technology effectively could lead to the grounds for a malpractice claim or suspension by the bar.
