Mostly our review fits into that first bucket of very obvious sense-checking (i.e. look at document, look at output, correct inaccuracies). Where I use AI to assist with drafting, it's more about working with the AI output or using the ideas it gives to inform your drafting. Often my end product is completely different than the AI output but a big part of AI's usefulness is that it can get over that 'blank page' problem and allow you to draft iteratively rather than from 0. Where you see that more holistic review is when you are considering an agreement in the context of a transaction. As a simple example, while the AI does a decent job of telling me if a contract requires consent before it can be assigned, what it can't do right now is tell me whether the agreement needs to be assigned as part of this specific deal. On "unfit-for-purpose" outputs, these do come up but probably less than you would think and are often due to things like the document being a scanned-in pdf. Examples from doc review include incorrect signatory names, incorrect dates or not picking up every provision I've asked for in an agreement. Use of AI in our field is really interesting at the moment because, in many ways, it is more effective than a human lawyer. It doesn't get tired or bored and it doesn't get offended if you ask it to do menial work all the time. I think, as lawyers, we need to make sure we're using these tools in the right way. In practice, I think that means: (i) understanding what AI is good at and what AI is bad at; and (ii) that, just like when supervising a trainee/junior, you have to check everything that it does.</blockquote>
