I hope as GC and as members of inhouse legal teams, you have explored Large Language Models (LLMs) already. If not, please do it right away. It is a tool which can be tremendously useful in making your life easier.
To write this article, I ran some experiments with ChatGPT and the results were fantastic, beyond what I expected. I decided to use ChatGPT as an assistant to help me find out potential greenwashing risks that I can flag to the imaginary management.
The biggest skill of ChapGPT is its ability to summarize documents and this is the skill I wanted to use for this experiment.
As my reader, I am guessing, you are more likely a lawyer, so you just need to dig into your litigation training a bit. In tech, they call it prompt engineering, lawyers call it asking questions.
In some ways, LLMs are like humans, you ask a question, receive an answer, ask a follow up question and continue till you have drilled down to what you were looking for. Also, thankfully, ChatGPT is like that very talkative friend who will absolutely pour their heart out to you. You just need to probe a little bit to get some answers and sometimes be skeptical.
A word of caution, as you use LLMs, you will realize that the information you get is not always entirely correct. There are errors which can happen, the infamous data hallucinations. But, for our experiment, I did not need exact data, I just wanted to understand the broader picture.
Stay informed,
