AI: Concerns
These tools are useful, but there are some things you should be aware of before using them. These concerns concern both legal and ethical.
Ethical Concerns
It cannot apply ethics to the products it produces because it is built from a database of information. It may not make ethical decisions every time. The AI lacks an emotional bias or human bias, which means it is missing a large piece of the puzzle. This can lead to unfair or discriminatory results. However, GPT-4 has taken many steps to make it less likely that AI will have biases toward certain groups or provide biased data.
Legal concerns
Similar to the legal concern, it might not be able to fully understand all legal requirements of a contract and may miss important clauses. It will not replace an expert. It is still necessary to have someone who has the knowledge to review and correct any errors it makes.
