SRA warns solicitors after 42 reports of AI misuse
The Solicitors Regulation Authority has issued a warning notice on misuse of AI after receiving 42 reports between July 2025 and July 2026. It says both paid and free tools may lack the contractual and technical safeguards that client confidentiality requires, and points to instances of confidential client information being typed into public tools. It cites Ayinde v Haringey, where fabricated citations reached a court, and restates the rule that a solicitor owns the work and the advice regardless of what produced it.
