Law scholars argue AI legal advice bans are shortsighted rent-seeking, not justice

A debate over proposed bans on AI legal advice: Kevin Frazier argues lawyers should further access to justice, not protect their guild—bans depriving Americans of AI tools are shortsighted, and clogged dockets should be fixed with more judges instead. MackenZ Arnold adds that most Americans see AI legal advice's value and wouldn't support bans, such proposals reek of rent-seeking, and the balance of good/bad tilts clearly toward good—though he warns of many bad "guardrail" laws that would also fail cost-benefit analysis.
