AI output legal review checklist
Publishing AI-generated content shifts legal risk onto you, the publisher. The model can hallucinate facts, reproduce copyrighted phrasing, or drift into regulated advice — and “the AI wrote it” is not a defense. This checklist gives you a scoped, tickable pre-publication review covering the risks that most often catch teams out.
How it works
Tell the tool your content type, where it’s being published, and your jurisdiction. It assembles a checklist from a base set (defamation, IP, accuracy, disclosure) plus items specific to your context — for example, regulated-advice and consumer-protection checks for financial or health content, or stricter disclosure rules for advertising. Tick items as you verify them; the tool tracks completion and flags the high-risk items you should clear first.
Notes and tips
- Verify every factual and quoted claim independently — hallucinated facts and fabricated citations are the most common defamation and accuracy failures.
- Disclose AI involvement where required (advertising, some jurisdictions, and increasingly platform rules), and keep records of your review.
- When content gives specific legal, medical, financial, or tax guidance, route it to a qualified professional and add a clear disclaimer rather than publishing raw output.
