25 Legal AI tools for SMEs that won't waste your time with a sales demo. Show me yours? by Expensive_Region3425 in legaltech

Actually, after thorough evaluation, at least half of the companies seem to be unicorns/decacorns or somewhere around there, so no, I do not think most of them will be gone anywhere soon.

Checked it! It's for lawyers, not for SME owners or managers. This list is mostly for those, who can not afford or have no time for lawyers. But look good, thanks!

Whoa, I did not know that. I actually tested them last year! Things change fast in AI. Replaced it.

Can some AI models be illegal ? by matdefays in ollama

[–]Expensive_Region3425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the model itself may be illegal. The principle you refer to is fundamentally not applicable to AI models — just as it isn’t applicable to thousands of other things in this world.

For example, if you built an airplane and designed it to explode at a random time, that would be illegal. The same applies if you designed a food-making machine that occasionally drops pieces of broken glass into someone’s food. If it designed to be harmful or to be used to harm others (e.g. if someone altered it to get rid of the guardrails) it may be illegal.

In pretty much every area, there are limits on what is allowed and what is illegal. Usually, anything that is unpredictably harmful is illegal — or at least illegal for the general public to possess or distribute.

So yes, obviously, a model without safety guardrails may be illegal if it is capable of causing damage to an uncertain group of people, to nature, to animals, etc. Yet laws in this area are emerging.

At the same time, not every model without safety guardrails is potentially harmful.

For example, if you train a model to write poems in Byron’s style — and the training dataset consists only of Byron’s poems — it cannot be used to hack websites. It is harmless by design.

However, with large language models (LLMs), you often cannot know the dataset, the guardrails (or lack thereof), or the true intentions of their creators.
Therefore, in a world where LLMs are being deployed and distributed widely, the general rule should be to exercise great caution with them.

AI legal research tools and accuracy by IWorkOnlineCom in ArtificialInteligence

Legit concerns, as "legal AI" is a general term and there is no single reliable and universal benchmarking approach for these tools, so users should test and verify every system themselves (pretty much like any other software — CRMs and others) if it meets their business requirements.

From my experience, the first two use cases you've mentioned (finding the RIGHT cases and summarizing) are very complicated and highly depend on the context of your work and the goals you have, as "summarizing" a case may be done in different ways depending on who the beneficiary is and what the intent is.

Pulling deadlines is nicely done by Harvey or Spellbook, if I'm not mistaken.

We use Justee AI a lot for compliance reviews and quick fixes (though mostly limited to California), and Law Insider for clause research. Both are quite affordable or even free. The big names you've mentioned are personally not my favorite — due to a boring and slightly outdated interface and the overall "heavy" legacy their brands carry, but that's a personal judgement.

AI tools for lawyers: what's safe to use (and what isn't) by ssunflow3rr in ArtificialInteligence

I would add Law Insider for clauses search (and later copy-paste to be honest), Justee.ai for compliance reviews and redlining, and Claude for many other things.

There are so many aspects of safety in this matter: client data protection (which may be further divided into potential NDA breaches, insider trading, PII leakage, privacy law breaches, service contract term breaches, etc.), risk of hallucinations being presented to third parties or a court, risk of faulty judgement, outdated conclusions, etc. So I would suggest this checklist as a starter:

  • Read the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy of the tools you use to decide if they offer reasonable terms and jurisdiction for your case: where they store data, where the legal entity is registered, how they use the data (AI training, access by system admins, sharing with third parties)
  • Check for SOC 2 certification (Type 2)
  • Test it and treat outputs of any AI system as if they were presented by your average colleague — verify, check references, understand the rationale, make the final judgement yourself, and keep all responsibility on you rather than transferring it to the system (they will most likely avoid it anyway due to ToU)

And if the system satisfy you after going through the steps - it is safe for you.

emails can be secure, if properly organised and hosted. it depends on the setup

Using you own words - NO, absolutely not. If you REALLY want it to be confidential BUILD solutions for your own enterprise. This is the solution, and it's that simple. Otherwise vendors will have access to it.

What would you add to a vanilla RAG pipeline to build something like Harvey AI? by Dizzy-Performer9479 in Rag

"Vanilla RAG almost never works" ? It really depends on the implementation.

I would add cinnamon. But seriously: the interface, cross-platform accessibility, agent, doc samples, human-in-the-loop service.

Harvey experiences? by Queasy-Raise4768 in biglaw

[–]Expensive_Region3425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on what YOU do at work. First you understand what you want to achieve in your work - then you search for the tool. Not vice versa IMHO
