With apologies, nunn.ai is offline.

When I first launched nunn.ai in 2024, artificial intelligence was still a cool new technology, a novel research aid with great potential to democratize knowledge and help users learn more about a wide variety of tricky topics. In line with that vision, I designed nunn.ai as a free tool to help attorneys, scholars, and judges work through the intricacies of evidence law.

Now, two years later, the response has been incredibly exciting. More than 221,000 visitors have come to the site, asking over 50,000 tough evidence questions, and receiving just as many helpful answers, always accompanied by direct links to relevant authority.

Over that same time, however, the leading AI models have advanced at a staggering pace. And, when used carelessly, it’s become clear that AI carries a serious risk of undermining, rather than aiding, the legal profession. Documented risks of over-reliance on AI are serious, including cognitive offloading, fabricated citations, implicit bias, an erosion of independent analysis, and a creeping convergence of thought.

So nunn.ai is going offline for a time while I realign and rebuild it for this new era. My aim will be exactly what it has always been, to give users a meaningful head start on difficult evidence questions by pointing their research in the most productive direction possible. But I’m committed to keeping nunn.ai a net positive for legal research, and that means that it must never risk replacing users’ important, independent work.

I look forward to seeing you on the other side. In the meantime, you can always find my scholarship and other projects at nunn.law. Thanks so much for your support!

Best,
G. Alexander Nunn
