The CEO of AI legal copilot RobinAI, Richard Robinson, has said that the key to mitigating the risks of hallucinations is human, not technical. He emphasized that legal professionals should not use these tools without the proper oversight.
In an interview with Cointelegraph, Robinson emphasized that, while powerful, artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t a substitute for human qualities like judgment. It can automate repetitive tasks, but its output should be checked rather than treated as a final product.
AI Hallucinations refer to instances where artificial intelligence systems generate inaccurate or false outputs, interpretations, or predictions. It highlights the potential for AI algorithms to produce results that diverge from reality or expected outcomes, leading to errors or misconceptions in their functioning.
In October, scientists from the University of Science and Technology of China and Tencent’s YouTu Lab developed a tool to combat “AI hallucinations.”
The legal copilot, RobinAI, is a specialized AI tool trained to understand legal documents, underpinned by Anthropic’s Claude 2.1. Robin AI has raised $26 million in Series B funding, led by Singapore-based investment company Temasek, the company announced on Wednesday.
The CEO stated that the company does not agree that AI dehumanizes legal services as its technology centers on supporting lawyers with their work and not replacing them. Robinson said,
“ We called our company Robin (i.e., partner to Batman!) and called our product a copilot because we believe this technology is about complementing and supporting lawyers rather than replacing them.”

In response to the choice of Anthropic as a launch partner instead of competitor OpenAI, Robinson said they found features of their LLM, such as a larger context window, better suited to analyzing long and complex legal documents.
United States Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts released the end-of-year report for the Supreme Court on Dec. 31, saying he predicts AI will “significantly” impact legal work. According to Roberts, AI can “indisputably assist” the current judicial system in pushing forward the goals of implementing the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures to seek the “just, speedy, and inexpensive” resolution of cases.
