The case of White v Alder may come to haunt future homeowners. In this week’s Civil Way column, former district judge Stephen Gold has some valuable advice for diligent conveyancing lawyers. Gold’s NLJ column also reports on updates to artificial intelligence (AI) guidance for judges. Could they use AI to help them draft judgments?
Gold writes: ‘Provided the guidelines are followed—ensure accountability and accuracy, be aware of bias, maintain security etc—there is no reason why generative AI could not be a useful secondary tool.’
As for practitioners, Gold suggests: ‘Wind up the opposition with enquiries as to which chatbots were used for production of their skeleton or pre action protocol letter, what prompts were entered and the AI training of the prompter.’
Gold also covers a recent case on service.RELATED ARTICLES
