The Right to (Human) Counsel: Real Responsibility for Artificial Intelligence

Swisher, Keith, The Right to (Human) Counsel: Real Responsibility for Artificial Intelligence (February 11, 2023). 74 S.C. L. Rev. 823 (2023), Available at SSRN:  https://ssrn.com/abstract=4583580

The bench and bar have created and enforced a comprehensive system of ethical rules and regulation. In many respects, it is a unique and laudable system for regulating and guiding lawyers, and it has taken incremental measures to account for the wave of new technology involved in the practice of law. But it is not ready for the future. It rests on an assumption that humans will practice law. Although humans might tinker at the margins, review work product, or serve some other useful purposes, they likely will not be the ones doing most of the legal work in the future. Instead, AI counsel will be serving the public. For the system of ethical regulation to serve its core functions in the future, it needs to incorporate and regulate AI counsel. This will necessitate, among other things, bringing on new disciplines in the drafting of ethical guidelines and in the disciplinary process, along with a careful review and update of the ethical rules as applied to AI practicing law”





How about that!

THE MACROECONOMICS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

AI may affect society in a number of areas besides the economy—including national security, politics, and culture. But in this article, we focus on the implications of AI on three broad areas of macroeconomic interest: productivity growth, the labor market, and industrial concentration. AI does not have a predetermined future. It can develop in very different directions. The particular future that emerges will be a consequence of many things, including technological and policy decisions made today. For each area, we present a fork in the road: two paths that lead to very different futures for AI and the economy. In each case, the bad future is the path of least resistance. Getting to the better future will require good policy—including

  • Creative policy experiments

  • A set of positive goals for what society wants from AI, not just negative outcomes to be avoided

  • Understanding that the technological possibilities of AI are deeply uncertain and rapidly evolving and that society must be flexible in evolving with them
