Very Meta: Let Artificial Intelligence Vet Your Artificial Intelligence

I’m constantly asked by attorneys which sorts of artificial intelligence tools they should be applying to which use cases; but, I’m probably asked just as regularly about how to vet AI tools, based on state and federal laws and attorney ethics rules. 

 

And, that’s fair – because it’s certainly a daunting question.  I mean, just look at these vendor-affiliated documents, like: service level agreements, privacy policies, terms of service, etc.  It’s just a heck of a lot of information to collate. 

 

Well, you know what’s good at organizing and rendering intelligible lots and lots (and lots) of data?  Yes, that would be AI. 

So, the next time you need to analyze whether you can use an AI tool for your confidential data, why not just ask AI to brief the question for you?  As in every other case, you’ll need to review the output for accuracy & exercise your own independent judgment – but, you can deploy those things onto a much more digestible format, that AI can build for you (way quicker than you could ever do the same yourself). 

 

One method would be to simply ask your garden variety GPT tool (ChatGPT, Claude) to analyze your contract.  Or, if you really wanted to step up your game, you could use a notebook software (Google Notebook LM, Microsoft CoPilot Notebooks) to add related sources (contract with the vendor, features information, applicable law, ethics code), to get far more in-depth into your risk profile.  And, if you really wanted to get crazy, you could just build a custom AI agent, to investigate any new potential software purchase you’d make. 

 

Of course, none of this information that you’re feeding into AI would be confidential data, such that you can safely use even the free version of an AI product for this operation.

Isn’t it ironic?  Don’t you think?  But, yes: you can leverage AI to vet AI.  Now, let’s chat about even more use cases!
