There’s no need to change the rules or introduce more legislation to regulate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the legal sector, the Law Society has said this week in its response to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology’s call for evidence on the AI Growth Lab
The Lab is a government-run cross-economy sandbox for testing AI use in regulated sectors.
Law Society CEO, Ian Jeffery said: ‘The existing legal regulatory framework supports progress. The main challenges don’t stem from regulatory burdens, but rather from uncertainty, cost, data and skills associated with AI adoption. Technological progress in the legal sector should not expose clients or consumers to unregulated risks.’
