Basics of Generator AI for Legal Teams
Generator AI for legal teams involves using large language models to process natural language and generate human-sounding responses. These models are trained on massive datasets and use a transformer architecture to predict the words that should follow in a given context. Accuracy is a concern since the models are trained on information scraped from the web, which can be unreliable and incomplete. Additionally, the models can sometimes generate content that didn't actually exist, leading to potential hallucinations. However, there are ways to mitigate these issues, such as fine-tuning the models, using prompt engineering to guide their responses, and implementing guardrails that limit the sources and databases they can cite.
