Citing GenAI: If, When, and How to Cite Generative Artificial Intelligence in Your Legal Writing
No full textEarlier this year, I had the privilege of attending the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) conference in Washington, D.C. This is an annual conference where professors from law schools around the country come to learn from one another and debate hot topics in legal education. As I’m sure you can imagine, generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) was one of those hot topics and there were several excellent presentations by law professors and law librarians who are nationally recognized experts in the field.
One presentation by the AALS section on legal writing, reasoning, and research entitled “The AI Era: Leveraging Large Language Models to Improve the Lawyers Craft” was particularly informative. It touched on many interesting questions related to GenAI in legal writing, such as: What GenAI chatbots are available for use and how do they stack up against each other? What are some of the ethical questions surrounding the use of GenAI for law students? How might the use of GenAI in legal writing promote greater inclusion and equity for lawyers, law students, and litigants?
Those are some big questions. And I am not able to tackle all of them in this short article (although I have included links in the endnotes to the presenters’ materials on these issues if you would like to dive into any of them more deeply). Instead, this article attempts to answer two very specific and practical questions that were raised by the presenters: First, if you use GenAI to draft a piece of writing, do you need a citation telling the reader as much? Second, if you are simply citing to content produced by GenAI, what should that citation look like?
Let’s dive into these issues one at a time
Speaking Back to Sexual Privacy Invasions
Get PDFMany big players in the internet ecosystem do not like hosting sexual expression. They often justify these bans as a protection of sexual privacy. For example, Meta states that it removes sexual imagery to prevent the nonconsensual distribution of sexual images. In response, this Article argues that banning digital sexual expression is counterproductive if the aim is to alleviate the harms inflicted by sexual privacy losses.
Contemporary sexual privacy theory, however, lacks analytical tools to explain why nudity bans harm the interests they intend to protect. This Article aims at building those tools. The main contribution is an invitation to locate part of the harm that victims experience not in the unwanted exposure but in the social interpretations of that exposure. If social interpretations make losses of sexual privacy exceptionally harmful, we should focus on both preventing invasions and changing those interpretations. Sexual expression is a powerful discourse that often aims at rewriting the social script that underlies the social sanctions we collectively impose on victims. Thus, the Article argues that protecting sexual expression ought to be an essential piece of a content moderation system designed from a sexual privacy perspective
In the Midst of Bankruptcy: How Cryptocurrency\u27s Classification Affects Creditors Who Were Once Customers
Get PDFIn 2022, Congress proposed the Digital Commodities Consumer Protection Act to amend the Commodity Exchange Act and define a new type of commodity: digital commodity. The definition of digital commodity encompasses cryptocurrency and provides the Commodity Futures Trading Commission with jurisdiction over digital asset transactions. This definition of digital commodity has two important implications. First, it signals the lawmakers’ tendency to generalize cryptocurrency as a commodity. Second, it brings complications into how creditors—especially individual crypto account holders—can recover in the recent bankruptcy cases involving prominent crypto companies. This Comment contains four components. First, it provides a brief explanation of cryptocurrency and its underlying mechanism. Second, it reviews the debate over cryptocurrency’s classification as a commodity versus as a security. Third, it presents an overview of the bankruptcy system and the effect of a bankruptcy discharge. Finally, this Comment argues that generalizing cryptocurrency as a commodity limits the ability of creditors—especially cryptocurrency account holders, who are often individual consumers—to seek recovery outside of bankruptcy. This Comment aims to bring the interests of consumer creditors to the attention of judicial and legislative bodies
