What is an hallucination?

An AI hallucination is when a large language model (LLM) generates false information. Hallucinations largely happen due to three causes: poor data quality, the AI’s training and generation methods, and unclear input context.

How long will it take to get an answer from AI-Assisted Research?

It will take about 1-4 minutes to generate the AI summary because we do a lot more discovery and processing compared to a traditional Westlaw search, including sending relevant materials to the language model for analysis.

Yes. Prior conversations will be available on the left-hand side of the search screen during a session and can also be found in a user’s search history.

What data is used to mitigate hallucinations or errors by Thomson Reuters' generative Al models?

Westlaw and Practical Law products employ a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) approach, grounding the Large Language Model (LLM) in Thomson Reuters' content when generating a response. Responses include source citations, enhancing transparency and allowing users to easily verify the underlying language supporting the response. Thomson Reuters strongly recommends customers validate all responses.

Can I set the same Get Started Bar options across my organisation?

No, getting started is specific to the user.

Can the AI-Assisted Research Summarise Cases?

No. The AI does not summarise cases. CoCounsel does have a summarisation capability.
