“…There is a separate discussion outside of this article around the implications of ChatGPT in education, but all universities are aware that many of their students are using these technologies in their studies (Ajevski et al 2023). Most users of ChatGPT are aged between 18 to 34 6 and increasingly law clinics may find their students using, or wanting to use, Gen AI.…”

“…There can be no doubt that understanding the opportunities, limitations and risks posed by Gen AI is a 'real world' problem that students will face if they move into legal practice (Ajevski et al 2023). It is recognised that engagement in clinical legal education supports the development of graduate employability skills (Cantatore et al 2021).…”

“…In the short term, positions such as prompt engineers will be required (Mohney, 2023). The creation of appropriate prompts will be key to refining the models, giving law students the opportunity to use these tools at law school may help prepare them for the realities of the transforming world of work (Ajevski et al 2023 AI systems will not replace lawyers, but they will increase the efficiency and productivity of lawyers (Simshaw, 2022). Similarly, law clinics can harness the benefits of AI and use these tools to operate as AI assistants.…”

The launch of ChatGPT in November 2023 will perhaps be come to be one of the defining moments in our relationship with technology. The rapid pace in which generative artificial intelligence (GAI) is developing and the rate in which it is being adopted, is transforming how we interact with technology, and poses new risks and challenges. As GAI tools such as ChatGPT are used by non-lawyers, this article explores the implications of generative AI in the provision of legal advice. This research examines the performance of GAI tools in providing legal information and advice in response to commonly experienced legal problems and finds there are significant errors and mistakes with the responses it produces. There is a critical need to improve access to justice and this article explores the implications for non-lawyers in using GAI tools and considers the risks of reliance on GAI advice. The article goes on to examine the utility of generative AI in clinical legal education to consider whether there is a role for responsible use of GAI in law clinics. It suggests the adoption of GAI tools has the potential to increase the capacity of law clinics, and enhance employability skills, but law schools need to be cognisant of the risks of GAI.

The aim of this research was to evaluate the performance of ChatGPT in answering multiple-choice questions without images in the entrance exams to the National University of Engineering (UNI) and the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM) over the past five years. In this prospective exploratory study, a total of 1182 questions were gathered from the UNMSM exams and 559 questions from the UNI exams, encompassing a wide range of topics including academic aptitude, reading comprehension, humanities, and scientific knowledge. The results indicate a significant (p < 0.001) and higher proportion of correct answers for UNMSM, with 72% (853/1182) of questions answered correctly. In contrast, there is no significant difference (p = 0.168) in the proportion of correct and incorrect answers for UNI, with 52% (317/552) of questions answered correctly. Similarly, in the World History course (p = 0.037), ChatGPT achieved its highest performance at a general level, with an accuracy of 91%. However, this was not the case in the language course (p = 0.172), where it achieved the lowest score of 55%. In conclusion, to fully harness the potential of ChatGPT in the educational setting, continuous evaluation of its performance, ongoing feedback to enhance its accuracy and minimize biases, and tailored adaptations for its use in educational settings are essential.
