It can be tempting to call on ChatGPT, but when it comes to a prenuptial agreement, the risks far outweigh the rewards.
1. AI Misses State-Specific Legal Requirements Every state has unique laws governing prenuptial agreements. Because these laws can contradict or be confusing, AI tools often ignore or misunderstand state-specific differences, or cite a rule that applies in an irrelevant state. These errors can impact the enforceability of the entire agreement and can leave you legally unprotected when it matters most.
2. Lack of Customization and Personalization Your relationship and finances are unique. AI-generated prenups tend to be generic, and rarely ask follow-up questions or offer tailored clauses for things like pets, inheritances, or business interests. This cookie-cutter approach can leave major gaps in your agreement. First, on the other hand, was designed in partnership with family law attorneys , with all of these difficult questions top of mind.
4. Emotional Intelligence Matters Discussing a prenup isn’t just a legal exercise—it’s an emotional conversation about your future together. AI lacks the ability to navigate these complex interpersonal dynamics, which are often crucial to a successful agreement. First’s lawyer-supported agreement matches both partners with a separate attorney , ensuring that each partner has an unbiased advocate who will help negotiate a fair agreement.
5. Hidden Risks of AI: Errors, Omissions, and Data Privacy AI tools are known to “hallucinate,” which means they can invent legal facts, make up assets or clauses, or even add unnecessary requirements that complicate the process. Additionally, uploading sensitive financial data to an AI platform can expose you to privacy risks and potential data breaches. Meanwhile, First complies with industry-standard data encryption and privacy policies, making sure you have peace of mind during the process.
