What happens when an AI tool like ChatGPT invents a legal ruling—and that ruling ends up in a courtroom filing? In this episode of Diritto al Digitale, Giulio Coraggio explores two real cases, one in Italy and one in Canada, where lawyers unknowingly relied on hallucinated case law generated by artificial intelligence.

We examine the legal and ethical implications of these events, what they reveal about the profession’s readiness for legal tech, and why under the EU AI Act, such mistakes could trigger serious compliance risks.

Giulio also shares how DLA Piper is addressing this challenge with a dedicated Legal Tech practice that brings together legal and technical expertise to help clients adopt AI responsibly and effectively.

Tune in to understand why AI can assist—but never replace—human legal judgment.

Regulating artificial intelligence is like driving a car: some prefer clear speed limits and guardrails, others enjoy an open road with minimal signs. The EU and the US exemplify these two different philosophies in AI regulation.

🇪🇺 The EU’s strategy prioritizes safety, fundamental rights, and transparency, ensuring responsible innovation and trustworthiness in AI systems. The objective is to protect individuals from a technology that might be dangerous but also to create a regulated environment where EU entities might better compete against US giants.

🇺🇸 In contrast, the current US approach, under the Trump administration, is notably less restrictive, summarized as a “let’s see what happens” policy. The goal is to have minimal constraints allowing rapid development and deployment of AI models, including open-source or freely available powerful AI systems.

Listen to the episode where Giulio Coraggio, data and technology lawyer at the global law firm DLA Piper unravels the complexities of the issue. Also, if you want to know more on the topic, read DLA Piper's AI Law journal available HERE
