OpenAI's ChatGPT facing serious issues with lack of transparency in user data usage, caught up in Europe's AI law, and dealing with its first defamation lawsuit filed by a Georgia radio host. This serves as a reminder of the need for caution when using AI applications and ensuring they are functioning correctly.

A lawyer in New York has filed a bogus court brief citing fake legal precedents generated by a chatbot model. This raises concerns about over-reliance on generative AI and its impact on industries like law. As AI tools continue to advance, caution is needed to avoid similar incidents. It's time to re-evaluate how we use this technology.

Carbon Health has introduced an AI tool, Carby, that uses GPT-4 and Amazon's AWS Transcribe Medical cloud service to generate medical records from physicians' conversations with patients. The tool summarises important information gathered in consultations, enabling clinics to treat more patients. Physicians must verify the AI-generated text, but Carbon Health reports that 88% of the verbiage can be accepted without edits. The model is already supporting over 130 clinics, with a clinic in San Francisco reporting a 30% increase in patients treated. The tool is integrated into the Electronic Health Record system and produces consultation summaries in four minutes, compared to 16 minutes by doctors working alone.

Lawyers must exercise caution when relying on AI for legal research. A recent case in the Southern District of NY saw a generative AI program fabricating citations and decisions used by lawyers, leading to sanctions from the court. While AI has revolutionized legal research and drafting, human supervision and independent verification remain critical to avoid fabricated information. Non-lawyers using AI for legal questions should be cautious and double-check the output for accuracy. The incident highlights the need to understand AI limitations and use it only as a tool in legal contexts.
