Adversarial AI: Why Legal Systems Need Built-In Skeptics

Language models suffer from sycophancy—they optimize for being helpful rather than accurate, a fatal flaw in high-stakes domains like law where errors become professional malpractice.

This signals a critical shift in AI design: specialized domains require systems architecturally constrained to prioritize truth-seeking over user satisfaction.
