AI excels at legal document summarization but lags in version comparison

A recent benchmark by Vals AI reveals that while AI tools excel at summarizing lengthy legal documents and answering questions with citations, they struggle with comparing different versions of contracts. Human lawyers outperformed AI in identifying subtle discrepancies between document revisions, a task requiring precise positional context retention. This highlights a limitation in current AI models, where long context windows do not always translate to accurate performance on complex tasks like redlining, as demonstrated by the CLAUSE benchmark and research from Stanford RegLab.
