‘Why Using AI In Our Practices Allows Us To Go Home To Our Families Earlier ! ’
AI is not something in the future, it’s NOW, and AI literacy is an absolute, even urgent, priority for all lawyers. Before deciding on what AI tool to use in your own practice, in this video we get a valuable understanding of how AI is being designed, built and used specifically for and by lawyers, and why AI tools (“agents”) will not replace lawyers, but rather should work collaboratively with us and feel like an interactive co-worker.
The speaker shares his insider experience building AI products for the legal profession and how to address areas like user-experience, and getting lawyers’ trust to use their software. Importantly, he explains that industries like law firms don't need AGI (Artificial General Intelligence, a hypothetical form of advanced AI that aims to replicate the full range of cognitive abilities of the human brain) or even the latest and greatest models, we need products that augment our existing workflows so we can better serve our clients and make it home earlier for dinner!
