Civil Liability for Damages Caused by the Use of Artificial Intelligence Systems by Lawyers in the Provision of Legal Services. Part II

<ns3:p>The present article analyses the civil liability of legal advisors and advocates for damages resulting from the use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems in legal services. Taking into consideration the complexity of the issue, the study has been divided into three parts. In the first one, the concepts of artificial intelligence and AI systems are defined, key applications of AI in the practice of legal advisors and advocates are presented, and the basic aspects of professional liability for damages are discussed. In part two, detailed issues concerning the civil liability of legal advisors and barristers for damages caused to clients through the use of AI systems in the course of legal services are examined. Finally, part three investigates their liability towards certain third parties who are not clients (e.g. participants in legal proceedings) and explores the possibility of attributing liability to the AI system itself, while examining the extent to which such claims may be covered by insurance.
