GPT-4 is already a high level lawyer (and a very good sommelier!)

The new GPT-4 language model has barely been launched when it already shows great skills in very technical areas.

Lawyers will have to be careful, OpenAI has just released a formidable technology in the public square with its new multimodal language model GPT-4. This one is indeed able to pass demanding tests, with results much better than those of most students made of flesh and blood.

GPT-4, the brilliant student

With the release at the end of last year of ChatGPT, known for its many intellectual productions, many began to wonder which professions would be most affected by the emergence of AI. We have seen in particular that that of a lawyer could begin to ask questions, the chatbot having succeeded some time ago in passing the entrance exam to law school.

But at the time (and “at the time”, it was January), ” ChatGPT was not a great law student “. Two months later, things change with GPT-4. Indeed, the latter was used by OpenAI directly for the bar entrance exam in the United States. And he did better than 90% of the candidates!

The pleading still saves

These results are part of the many academic tests that the American start-up has passed on its AI. She thus succeeded in doing better than 99% of the participants in the Olympiads of biology, the international competition of high school student knowledge in the field, and even, a little more surprisingly, found herself among the best students in the sommelier exams. To wonder if artificial intelligence will not soon recommend wines to us.

Obviously, these are technical competitions. The AI ​​was able to use the stored knowledge to which it has access in order to work correctly on practical cases. The heart of the legal profession, pleading, is not yet touched by technology, even if an American company wanted to try before having to turn back. Yet, given the significant progress of OpenAI, who can say what 2024 will hold?
