A brief warning about why AI tools can give incorrect workplace legal advice and why expert legal support is the safer option.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbots such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot, are becoming more and more common. AI might be okay for general information, but it has a terrible track record for giving accurate legal advice.
Importantly, when it comes to employment law, the information is often outdated or incorrect.
For example, the answers you get from an AI chatbot for your employment question in South Australia might include information from laws in New South Wales, Queensland, or even overseas. That information will not be useful to your case.
Even if you ask the chatbot to only refer to South Australian law, there is a very good chance that it will ‘hallucinate’. There are more and more cases of AI making up cases and laws that do not exist. The South Australian Employment Tribunal has recently issued this warning: Referral to the LPCC for the citation of fake cases – SAET
We strongly recommend that you do not use AI chatbots for legal advice or to draft your applications or submissions. Doing so may harm your case rather than help it.
Our office wants to hear your story. Please do not provide us with information or opinions from AI as it will not assist us in providing you with advice.
