Description
Lawyers need to know about AI because it is changing the entire scope and delivery of legal services. AI in the legal profession is about far more than machine learning and eDiscovery. Just as businesses outside the profession use AI in basic chatbots on web sites, in automated answering and customer service phone portals and for sophisticated data searching and analytics tools, attorneys are using AI for these functions and many more.
Some iteration of AI is used, often with natural language processing tools, by law firms and corporate law departments for tasks such as:
• data and due diligence analysis
• augmenting legal research and contract review
• drafting legal documents
• predicting future outcomes,
• automating both general basic tasks and specific case workflows
• overseeing IP matters
• digitizing payment processes
• building computer vision models that are taught to view documents the way humans do
Join Tom O’Connor to learn about the diversity of AI, who’s using it, and how it is crucial to maintaining an efficient legal practice.
