“Focused on GAI, the opinion addresses six core principles: competence, confidentiality, communication, meritorious claims and candor to tribunal, supervision and fees. A theme of reasonableness underlies the opinion; competence, for example, does not require GAI expertness, but a ‘reasonable understanding’ of the technology’s capabilities and limitations, which cannot remain ‘static.’ How much ‘independent verification or review’ will depend on the circumstances of the task. When the ABA first discussed adding a technological component to the competence rule, concern was raised as to the cost to the smaller firms or solo practitioners. The opinion appropriately does not attempt a one-size-fits-all admonition, but emphasizes the balancing of factors.” https://lnkd.in/eFb7nYp5
