Generative Contract & Document Attacks
AI-drafted documents can embed subtle asymmetries — definitions, cross-references, exceptions to exceptions — at a scale and subtlety no human drafter would attempt; volume and fluency hide the trap.
An everyday example
A 90-page MSA in which liability is capped in clause 12 and silently uncapped by a definition in schedule 4.
What it can cost you
Reviewing fluent documents with a human's attention budget; trusting length and polish as signals of standard terms.
Warning signs
- It reads smoothly and I cannot summarise the risk allocation.
- The dangerous clause is in a schedule.
One thing to do
Review with your own tools and counsel; ask for a redline against a known standard; have every defined term and cross-reference traced mechanically.
