Can a Business Owner Use AI to File a Law Suit Without a Lawyer?

Generative artificial intelligence is changing pro se litigation. Law.com reports that lawyers and judges see more self-represented litigants using AI to prepare court filings, sometimes effectively and sometimes with serious errors.

A business owner may believe, “My company was cheated, so I can file the complaint myself.” But, if the claim belongs to the company, the owner’s AI-generated complaint may create an unauthorized representation problem before the merits are ever reached.

The Seventh Circuit of the Federal Court recently observed that approximately 60% of its caseload includes at least one self-represented party (pro se litigation). AI did not create pro se litigation, but it has dramatically made it easier to produce a complaint, brief, or motion that looks as though it was prepared by a lawyer.
