When AI is not OK

While AI platforms are valuable for creative support like designing logos and drafting marketing copy, they have critical limitations in strategic business and legal matters. Uninformed reliance on these tools can lead to complications and severe consequences for your business.

A primary concern is AI "hallucinations"—inaccurate information that can be detrimental to your operations, far outweighing the amusement of visual errors. The experienced professionals at Boston Business Mentors provide essential value by ensuring that all answers, regardless of their source, are credible, comprehensive, and verified to limit your risk.

Ultimately, AI lacks the necessary judgment to determine which terms best suit your specific situation. Furthermore, its output is dependent on the quality of your input; if you are unsure of the appropriate industry or legal standards to search for, the results can cause more harm than good. We provide the accurate, complete, and context-specific information that AI frequently overlooks.

The Risks of Relying on AI

While AI is a powerful business tool, relying on it for Massachusetts-specific legal matters can expose your company to substantial and unnecessary liability. AI often provides generic answers that fail to meet unique state requirements.

  • Worker Classification: AI advice may incorrectly classify workers, exposing you to substantial monetary liability for back pay and treble damages in Massachusetts.

  • Employment Law and Contracts: AI typically provides generic answers that do not address your obligations under unique Massachusetts employment laws and contract requirements.

  • Commercial Leases: AI lacks the market knowledge to advise on typical terms, or to flag terms that are unfavorable to you or illegal in Massachusetts.

  • Agreements and Contracts: AI cannot distinguish between favorable and unfavorable terms regarding critical protections like warranties, indemnification, or limitations of liability.
