Artificial intelligence (AI) is now integral to the legal profession, significantly impacting legal services since mid-2025. Developments in regulations, judicial oversight, and ethical expectations have led to the increasing use of AI, aligned with the proposed Federal Rule of Evidence 707 (FRE 707), which addresses machine-generated evidence in litigation. High-profile cases, such as Fastcase v. Alexi, emphasize the necessity of clear vendor agreements to govern AI use and data security. Legal professionals must now navigate various risks associated with AI, including compliance with emerging state bar guidance and understanding the limitations of AI systems. Practitioners are urged to adopt robust governance frameworks to ensure ethical use while mitigating litigation risks. As courts and clients expect serious engagement with AI technology, attorneys must implement thorough verification processes to validate AI-generated information. Embracing AI with responsible oversight can grant firms a competitive edge in this swiftly evolving legal landscape.
