A
June
2024
survey
of
data
privacy
professionals
found
that
the
rising
use
of
artificial
intelligence
is
the
number-one
privacy
risk
facing
companies
today,
according
to
a
story
in
Law360.
Concerns
about
data
privacy
and
data
security
are
especially
heightened
with
the
emergence
of
generative
artificial
intelligence
(Gen
AI)
tools
in
the
legal
industry,
which
enables
legal
professionals
to
quickly
obtain
AI-generated
text
in
response
to
research
queries
or
requests
for
summaries
of
lengthy
documents.
These
are
the
types
of
concerns
that
have
led
many
in
the
industry
to
gravitate
toward
Legal
AI,
Gen
AI
tools
trained
for
the
legal
profession.
There
are
some
important
differences
between
the
commercially
available
Legal
AI
solutions
on
the
market,
so
prospective
buyers
of
these
tools
need
to
know
how
each
of
these
Gen
AI
models
approaches
data
privacy
and
security
considerations.
We
recently
published
“The
Definitive
Guide
to
Choosing
a
Gen
AI
Legal
Research
Solution,”
a
free
buyer’s
guide
that
details
what
law
firms
and
in-house
legal
departments
should
look
for
so
they
can
select
the
most
appropriate
solution
for
their
organization.
One
of
the
pillars
we
addressed
in
the
guide
is
the
importance
of
Privacy
&
Security.
Six
core
concerns
The
rise
of
powerful
Gen
AI
models
that
can
create
synthetic
media,
text,
code
and
other
content
raises
important
questions
around
privacy
and
security.
These
systems
leverage
large
datasets
and
can
mimic
existing
content
and
styles.
This
makes
it
essential
for
your
team
to
thoughtfully
address
certain
privacy
and
security
risks
that
can
threaten
the
safety
of
your
organization
and/or
clients.
Here
are
six
core
concerns
that
you
should
contemplate:
-
Data
privacy
—
Law
firms
operate
in
a
world
of
confidentiality
and
client
data
(e.g.,
financial
records,
strategic
plans,
etc.)
must
be
fiercely
protected.
You
need
to
know
how
training
data
for
the
Gen
AI
model
is
obtained
and
used.
Attribution
—
It
is
crucial
that
any
source
materials
surfaced
by
the
Gen
AI
model
are
properly
credited.
Any
legal
document
must
be
attributed
to
a
human
lawyer
for
it
to
be
considered
ethically
acceptable
by
the
courts;
this
requires
that
users
have
sufficient
information
in
their
hands
to
verify
the
accuracy
of
all
AI-generated
content. -
Data
bias
—
There
is
a
risk
of
perpetuating
unfair
biases
in
the
Gen
AI
model
training
data.
AI
algorithms
learn
from
the
data
they
are
fed,
so
if
that
data
contains
inherent
biases
the
Legal
AI
tool
may
incorporate
them
in
its
outputs. -
Transparency
—
Understanding
the
reasoning
behind
an
AI
tool’s
answers
helps
lawyers
identify
and
mitigate
potential
biases
or
inaccuracies.
Beware
of
any
Gen
AI
model
that
provides
a
lack
of
detail
about
how
it
works. -
Misinformation
—
All
legal
professionals
are
by
now
aware
of
the
risk
of
Gen
AI
models
in
creating
convincing
fake
or
misleading
content.
The
rules
of
professional
responsibility
dictate
that
lawyers
are
ultimately
responsible
for
the
accuracy
and
completeness
of
their
legal
work
product. -
Regulation
—
The
track
record
and
reliability
of
an
AI
developer
is
important
if
legal
practitioners
are
going
to
be
able
to
trust
their
knowledge
of
the
legal
domain.
Make
sure
your
Gen
AI
model
was
built
with
thoughtful
rules
and
governance
of
the
technology.
Questions
to
ask
about
privacy
and
security
When
evaluating
a
Legal
AI
solution,
you
need
to
ask
a
few
important
questions
about
how
the
model
is
trained
and
how
your
data
is
handled,
such
as
the
following:
-
Will
my
search
history
and
usage
information
be
stored
or
used
to
train
the
model? -
How
does
your
Gen
AI
solution
address
the
security
concerns
related
to
ChatGPT? -
How
does
your
Gen
AI
solution
protect
customers’
intellectual
property
and
your
own? -
What
data
security
measures
are
in
place
for
any
original
generated
content? -
What
safeguards
exist
to
prevent
exposure
of
privileged
or
confidential
client
information
through
AI-generated
content?
