Will Microsoft indemnify those users then if Copiot effectuates breaches of their respective professional and legal duties?

bschorr.bsky.social•70 days ago

It's not my role to answer that question, you'd need to ask our lawyers.

In my personal, non-lawyer, opinion I think the key word there is "effectuates". AI can make mistakes just like people can and it's important for the human to carefully review the document. I think it's more likely...

So Copilot actually creates MORE work for the user. Not only do we need to ensure the integrity of our own, human work, we also must babysit Copilot and scrutinize its work too, particularly when there are ethical, professional, legal, and/or fiduciary responsibilities on the line.

AI is an assistant. Like any assistant you hopefully aren't just turning in their work without looking over it first. Especially when the stakes are so high.

That's fair. But you can also choose not to use Copilot (or any other AI).

People can be held responsible and suffer consequences when they make mistakes. Can Copilot?

...user asked it to do. This isn't unique to Copilot, for as long as we've practiced law it's been important to carefully review documents for accuracy and appropriateness before they go out.

That's still true with Copilot. Always review what it does, because AI can make mistakes.

"But can I guarantee that under no circumstances would Copilot insert text from another document? No" - You can stop now, that's the answer.
Everything else is trying to excuse a bad feature that causes legal issues for everyone that touches an MS product with this infestation (Office,Windows)
