DEFINITION
Risk class 6 of the Risk Taxonomy 2026: AI use creates exposure under professional conduct rules governing lawyers individually — covering competence (using a tool whose limitations the lawyer does not understand), candour (non-disclosure of AI assistance where required), supervision (accountability for AI-assisted work by non-lawyer team members), and misrepresentation (presenting AI-generated content as the lawyer's own analysis). Addressed by decision traceability and continuous learning — the function must maintain attribution standards, jurisdiction-specific disclosure protocols, and supervision frameworks updated for AI-mediated tasks.
