Artificial Intelligence and Contract Drafting In Ghanaian Legal Practice: A Framework for Prompt Engineering, Statutory Compliance, and Enforceability
Unlike a human drafting lawyer, an AI system does not possess independent legal knowledge, interpretative authority, or professional accountability. It generates output based on probabilistic patterns derived from its training data. Without precise, legally informed instructions — what practitioners of AI technology call "prompt engineering" — the system will produce generic, jurisdiction-neutral language that may be wholly inadequate for the purposes of a Ghanaian commercial transaction.
