Justifiable Artificial Intelligence: Engineering Large Language Models for Legal Applications

In this work, I discuss how Large Language Models can be applied in the legal domain, circumventing their current drawbacks. Despite their large success and acceptance, their lack of explainability hinders legal experts to trust in their output, and this happens rightfully so. However, in this paper, I argue in favor of a new view, Justifiable Artificial Intelligence, instead of focusing on Explainable Artificial Intelligence. I discuss in this paper how gaining evidence for and against a Large Language Model’s output may make their generated texts more trustworthy - or hold them accountable for misinformation.
