ADR refers to methods such mediation and arbitration to resolve disputes without the use of courts and typically involve a third-party neutral (often a judge, former judge, or experienced attorney) who helps the parties to come to a resolution or decision. Tools like Chat-GPT do amazing things: summarize huge piles of medical records and depositions, write briefs and motions, generate questions for witnesses, generate discovery requests and responses, and develop arguments to be used in court. How does the use of AI affect the ADR\u2019s commitment to neutrality, fairness and trust?<\/p>\n<p>AI is a tool. It is no substitute for critical legal analysis. Plus, attorneys and third-party neutrals should not depend too heavily on AI when citing\u00a0caselaw or performing legal analysis because AI hallucinates, i.e., makes up facts and caselaw. Monthly, we are hearing of lawyers receiving sanctions from judges all across the county for citing cases from AI that simply do not exist.<\/p>\n<p>On July 29, 2025, the American Bar Association Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility issued Formal Opinion 512 regarding Generative Artificial Intelligence Tools. Generative AI (GAI) is AI that can create various types of new content in response to a user\u2019s prompts and questions. The opinion reminded lawyers to be aware of the implications GAI has concerning certain Model Rules of Professional Conduct.<\/p>\n<p>The use of AI implicates many of our Rules of Professional Conduct. For example, Rule 1.1 (competence) is implicated because lawyers and neutrals are required to be competent in the use of technology and should know the benefits and risks associated with the various technologies. In 2025, the American Arbitration Association had a conference that examined how long-standing ethical principles must adapt as technology begins to shape how arguments are formed, evidence is evaluated, and professional judgment&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ctinsider.com\/waterbury\/opinion\/article\/ai-legal-issues-intelligence-22344838.php\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editorial: Ethical issues with generative artificial intelligence https:\/\/www.ctinsider.com\/waterbury\/opinion\/article\/ai-legal-issues-intelligence-22344838.php Publish Date: 2026-07-14 12:25:00 Source Domain: www.ctinsider.com&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":289434,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/s.hdnux.com\/photos\/01\/66\/65\/12\/31150746\/3\/rawImage.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[19],"class_list":["post-289433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-generative-ai"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289433"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=289433"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289433\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":289435,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289433\/revisions\/289435"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/289434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=289433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=289433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
