训练能提升律师用AI做法律分析的效率和准确性。

Can targeted user training unlock the productive potential of generative artificial intelligence in professional settings? We study this question using a randomized experiment in which 164 law students completed an issue-spotting examination under one of three conditions: no GenAI access, optional access to a large language model (LLM), or LLM access with a brief training intervention. Untrained LLM access proved counterproductive: relative to participants without any LLM access, untrained users wrote significantly shorter answers, committed more case misstatements, and scored marginally lower, though most differences fall short of conventional significance. Training reversed this pattern. Trained participants adopted the LLM at higher rates (41% vs. 26%; p = 0.044), scored 0.27 grade points higher than untrained users--roughly one fine grade--(p = 0.027), and stated applicable rules more accurately (p = 0.014). Principal stratification analysis suggests training operates primarily through adoption rather than effectiveness--the adoption lower bound (1.06) exceeds the effectiveness upper bound (0.42) at strict mean dominance--though confidence intervals are wide. More broadly, these findings challenge the view that GenAI primarily benefits lower-skilled workers: without training, higher-ability practitioners opt out while lower-ability users adopt but unproductively. Realizing GenAI's productivity gains requires investment in both access and instruction.
