Camille Miller was interviewed in a World Trademark Review article discussing recent court scrutiny of AI-generated hallucinations in legal filings and best practices for responsible AI use.

Regarding the shift toward AI use in legal practice, Camille stated "We are at the beginning of a fundamental change in the practice of law – particularly in intellectual property, where technology and innovation have always shaped our work."

Camille also noted that AI can improve efficiency by helping lawyers complete certain tasks more quickly, stating "the real opportunity is to redirect time toward higher-value counselling, risk assessment, advocacy, and client service." Regarding AI’s limitations, she stated "What AI cannot do is exercise judgement, understand a client's risk tolerance, appreciate business realities, or develop a case strategy. Those responsibilities remain firmly with the lawyer."

In terms of best practices, Camille recommended firms provide formal AI training programs, clear governance policies, and examples of acceptable and unacceptable use cases. She also emphasized that lawyers should verify all AI-generated work product, adding, "The phrase I repeat most often is: ‘Trust nothing, verify everything.'"

In her own practice, Camille stated that she uses AI as a "force multiplier" to assist with tasks including summarizing information and organizing research, concluding "The future belongs to lawyers who learn to use AI well while never forgetting the responsibility for the work remains entirely their own."
