A few universities are cracking down not only on AI but on computers in general, and if you’re looking to hire people who can think, you should throw your support toward these schools. And then, perhaps, other schools will follow suit.
It’s starting with the law schools, which makes sense, because if you want someone who can think through a problem, it’s a lawyer. AI is never going to give you a unique legal strategy, as it will just pull in what others have done.
Inside Higher Ed reports that law schools such as the University of California, Berkeley, which said students are prohibited from using AI in “conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit,” and the University of Chicago Law school which takes it a step further and said it “will ban laptops, tablets and phones in the classroom for first-year law students beginning this fall as part of its broader strategy of adapting legal education for the AI era.”
I’m 100 percent on board and wish schools would expand this to other areas.

It is particularly important for lawyers to understand the limitations of AI and use one tailored specifically to their profession. If they use one of the popular ones, they will be putting confidential information they are legally required to keep private into a public database that will, 100% certain, be used to formulate answers for others. This can cost a lawyer their license to practice.
Given how many news stories we’ve all seen about lawyers getting in trouble for using ChatGPT to cite case law that doesn’t exist, it’s no surprise their profession is leading the way in figure it all out.
