The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently formed a Task Force on the Responsible Use of Generative AI for Law.  Its stated purpose reflects the name of the task force:  “to develop principles and guidelines on ensuring factual accuracy, accurate sources, valid legal reasoning, alignment with professional ethics, due diligence and responsible use of Generative AI for law and legal processes.”  Stephanie Wilkins has written an article for the New York Law Journal that nicely summarizes the Task Force’s proposed principles for the responsible use of generative AI in the legal procession — principles that focus on a number of duties ranging from competence to accountability and supervision.   The key to the effort is that the Task Force is laying out these principles — and responsibilities — while trying not to discourage the use of generative AI.  It’s an effort worthy of the legal profession’s attention.
