Could ChatGPT alter the rules of disclosure? In this week’s NLJ, Rosie Wild and Anna-Rose Davies, of Cooke, Young & Keidan, look at the potential impact of the famous artificial intelligence tool on disclosure. 

Could it make it faster and cheaper? How can the legal profession make sure it is used in an ethical and effective way?

‘Some law firms have currently banned the use of ChatGPT altogether due to concerns over the disclosure of sensitive and confidential data,’ Wild and Davies write. Nevertheless, the authors believe that, with the right developments, an evolved version of ChatGPT could be integrated into e-disclosure platforms.

In this article, they explore how, and what hurdles would need to be overcome—read it here.
