I read this book in like 2013 and I think about it at least once a week.

Feels like the inevitable next step is one of these things getting run through PimEyes or Clearview.

Excited to (finally!) publicly share the output of an AI audits class I taught last spring: an audit of Legal Aid of North Carolinaโ€™s LIA tool. As far as I know, itโ€™s one of the first audits of its kind in the access to justice space.

PS - more from us soon: more audits, some reflections on how to run it, maybe some tools to make running them easier. If youโ€™re a court or nonprofit who wants to partner, reach out.

Finally, super grateful to LANC for allowing this to be released publicly. I hope that releasing this audit publicly is a step towards transparency and shared learning in the space.

Fair warning: the report is a long document with a lot of findings, covering the first five months of LIA's deployment. And it shouldnโ€™t be read as a generalizable benchmark. Rather, this is the study of a single product at a moment in time.

Why Do People Fall for a Fake Robot Lawyer? | TechPolicy.Press Keith Porcaro argues we donโ€™t need a superintelligent robot to repair trust in the law. We just need to redesign legal institutions for a low-lawyer reality.

"Look hard enough, and you can imagine a just legal system that just needs fewer lawyers. Otherwise, ordinary people will continue to seek out robot lawyers, quality be damned. Theyโ€™ll continue to believe that the law is not meant for them. And theyโ€™ll be right." - @porca.ro

1000s of papers on โ€œAI fairnessโ€ and this is the actual reality of how algorithms harm people.

Out now in Duke Law & Tech Review: โ€œGray Adviceโ€. Itโ€™s about how people really get legal and health advice online, what could go wrong, and how we could make those services just a bit more trustworthy.

@keithporcaro.bsky.social argues that fake robot lawyers prey on the desperate. Repairing people's trust in the law doesn't need superintelligence; it just needs legal institutions redesigned for a low-lawyer reality.
