PNAS launches a special feature on law in the age of generative AI
A PNAS special feature titled “Law in the Age of Generative AI” gathers articles on how legal systems can govern AI and how AI is changing legal practice and legal scholarship.
The feature covers topics including:
- copyright
- algorithmic fairness
- legal reasoning
- AI governance
- access to justice
The post also highlights a tension in current judicial debates: some judges see real promise in AI-assisted legal analysis, while others warn about hallucinations, dehumanization, and unequal access. It notes that hallucinations have appeared in over 1,600 cases, and that in the U.S. access-to-justice gaps remain severe, especially for low-income people.
