What does a user regard as a high quality AI response for a socio-legal query?
The Multi-dimensional Intelligence Standard for Assessment of socio-Legal AI Interactions is an effort to take this question to thousands of users inside diverse communities, and surface the elements that truly represent a quality AI response to a query pertaining to law or justice.
