Risk signals to check

Use this page as a scenario-specific starting point. The prefilled checker turns these signals into the underlying EU AI Act questionnaire and keeps every answer editable.

  • Users may mistake automated output for qualified legal advice.
  • The system may influence legal rights, obligations, or disputes.
  • Hallucinated citations or clauses can create business risk.
  • Human legal review may be required before external use.

Launch review workflow

Treat the first result as a launch-readiness conversation, not a final legal answer. The practical goal is to make the use case, affected people, oversight route, and evidence trail visible before the product ships.

  1. Define the decision point

    Write down whether the system only assists with contract review or changes access, ranking, priority, pricing, eligibility, or review.

  2. Map affected people

    List who sees the output, who is affected by it, and whether the system is offered in the EU market or used for EU users.

  3. Check human oversight

    Decide where a trained person can review, override, explain, or stop the AI output before it creates a material impact.

  4. Collect launch evidence

    Start with Not-legal-advice disclosure, then keep the risk result, key assumptions, reviewer notes, and user-facing disclosures together.

Documents to prepare

A useful first pass is not only a risk label. Teams should also collect the working notes that a reviewer, customer, investor, or internal launch owner will ask for.

  • Not-legal-advice disclosure
  • Human review workflow
  • Output limitation statement
  • Source and citation handling notes
  • Sensitive use escalation path

Frequently asked questions

Can an AI legal assistant replace a lawyer?

What makes legal AI risky?

The risk is not only the model. It is whether users rely on outputs for rights, obligations, negotiations, or disputes.
