California State Bar Association, Practical Guidance For the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence In the Practice of Law, Nov. 17, 2023 (https://www.calbar.ca.gov/Portals/0/documents/ethics/Generative-AI-Practical-Guidance.pdf). |
The Practical Guidance document from the California State Bar's Committee on Professional Responsibility and Conduct provides ethical guidelines for lawyers on using generative AI in legal practice. It outlines lawyers' existing professional duties under rules and statutes that apply when utilizing AI tools, such as competently managing benefits and risks, securing confidential data, validating outputs, communicating with clients, charging reasonable fees, ensuring candor to courts, and avoiding bias. The Guidance advises understanding limitations, establishes principles rather than best practices, aims to allow responsible use of transformative technology, and recognizes the need to adapt regulations as AI evolves. |
