Did you know? Our first production use case of #GenerativeAI was driven by our Legal division, with cross-division collaboration from Group Digital Capabilities, Group Technology Services, and Product Strategy & Innovation divisions. This is a testament to our commitment to working in a more agile, collaborative model, uniting diverse expertise to pursue shared goals.   Kevin Johnson, Head of Innovation Competence Centre at Euroclear, explains, "Our current view of Generative AI is this is an augmentation to human capability, not a replacement of it. The pioneering application, Legal Co-pilot, automates initial legal research and transforms queries into prompts, delivering concise, natural language responses drawn from extensive legal documentation."   Kevin elaborates that "We have turned the 'creativity' of the language model right down so as to eliminate 'hallucination' as much as possible. Legal Co-pilot not only points lawyers in the right direction but also references the documents where the answers are found, significantly reducing the time spent on preliminary research."   Our strategic approach goes beyond legal applications. We're carefully exploring the potential to adapt this cutting-edge technology across various departments. This strategy highlights our philosophy of #GenAI as an augmentation tool, rather than a replacement for human expertise, to enhance efficiency across various functions.   #Innovation and new technology are at the heart of #Euroclear.
