“Under the hood, these new legal #AI tools use retrieval-augmented generation (#RAG) to produce their results, a method that many tout as a potential solution to the #Hallucination #Problem. In theory, RAG allows a system to first retrieve the relevant source material and then use it to generate the correct response. In practice, however, we show that even RAG systems are not hallucination-free.” https://lnkd.in/eZMVcQ46

This is a terrific article about how AI stacks up against young lawyers. Bench strength is no longer measured solely by how many timekeepers you can throw at a deal. What's particularly interesting (and concerning for law firms) is that the performance results were obtained without using AI Apps like Practical Law, Kira, Henchman, LexisNexis, etc. The study focuses on lower level legal work. At Acevedo Belt, P.A. we empower our experienced transactional attorneys with proven and safe "closed" AI technology from vendors like Thomson Reuters and NetDocuments. https://lnkd.in/eCMZEhfY

On April 7, 2024, US Senate Commerce Committee and House Energy and Commerce Committee unveiled the American Privacy Rights Act of 2024 (APRA), a comprehensive privacy bill that, if enacted, would set significant data privacy and security standards. The APRA would largely preempt similar comprehensive privacy laws enacted by individual states in the last few years. The APRA would also provide individuals with a limited private right of action to seek monetary and other relief for certain violations by covered entities. Although the APRA is not likely to pass in the current Congress, the bipartisan effort suggests future comprehensive federal legislation. #dataprivacy
