If an AI program can write a legal brief then an AI program can be sued.

I predict that product liability lawsuits against companies that develop AI applications will be a huge growth industry in the future.

If an AI program can write a legal brief then an AI program can be sued.

What if a lawyer lets his teenage daughter write the brief he submits? Is she legally liable? Of course not. He’s the one who filed it.

Or if he copies a brief from a textbook, do you sue the publisher or the original author? Of course not.

Responsibility follows the actor with agency and accountability. Same with AI. The lawyer who files the brief is the one held liable.
