The American Bar Association standing committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility issued formal opinion 512 which identified potential risks for lawyers who are using generative AI technology. The opinion offers general guidance while focusing on professional conduct such as competence, confidentiality, communication, supervisory responsibilities, and fees. The risks associated with the use of GAI can vary, and the opinion mentions specific issues of meritorious claims and candor toward a tribunal. The ABA addresses concerns of GAI tools having "hallucinations", providing responses that have no basis in fact, false citations to nonexistent cases, inaccurate analysis of legal authorities, and many other inconsistencies. Though the Ohio Bar Association has not issued a formal opinion regarding generative AI, the current Ohio rules are similar to the guidelines presented by the American Bar Association. To conclude, formal opinion 512 affirms that lawyers have duties of both legal and technological competence, and lawyers utilizing AI must have a reasonable understanding of GAI tools.
