Deloitte outlines how to navigate the risks of AI for the CIO Journal of the Wall Street Journal https://lnkd.in/e2-cMM9J. #deloitte #airisks #artificialintelligence #ciojournal #wsj

In a recent Q&A with Lauren Edwards of RPC, the focus was on the transformative role of artificial intelligence in the legal sector. Edwards highlighted the importance of AI in enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and improving decision-making processes within legal firms. She also emphasised the potential of AI to revolutionise the way legal professionals work, by automating routine tasks and enabling them to focus on more complex, value-adding activities. Edwards noted that while AI is a powerful tool, it is not a panacea for all the challenges facing the legal sector. Instead, she argued that a combination of AI and other advanced technologies, such as data analytics and machine learning, is needed to drive real change in the industry. In the context of AI, Edwards highlighted the importance of data quality and management, arguing that without good data, AI systems cannot function effectively. She also stressed the need for firms to invest in the right technology infrastructure and to ensure that their staff are adequately trained to use these new tools. At #IDS, we couldn't agree more with Edwards' sentiments. Our comprehensive suite of legal technology services, from workflow automation and data management to product implementation and system integration, are designed to help legal firms navigate the complexities of the digital age. By working closely with technology vendors, we are helping to shape a better legaltech ecosystem for all. #LegalTech #AI #DataManagement #SystemIntegration #ProductImplementation #ManagedServices

Could AI laws switch sides? Maybe someday, some AI will be so trusted and skilled that consumers will have the legal right to have important decisions about them be made by machines instead of humans. In the meantime, it’s a jungle out there, and I am so excited to welcome the data scientists and lawyers from AI law firm Luminos.Law to join us at ZwillGen. Whether our clients require deep statistical analysis, remediation, and certification that their AI systems are free from impermissible bias, or rigorous red-teaming and remediation to strengthen their AI against being tricked into doing naughty things like revealing trade secrets or trying to take over the world, this team brings deep experience to the table. Brenda Leong and Andrew Burt, welcome to you and your group! #AI #Law #BotsNotRulingHumanityQuiteYet

Wow #IAbeforeAI has come a long way … 2017 Legal Geek … 2024 on the pages of the SCL and being consulted by PwC. Does this now mean I am the “Godfather of IA before AI”?😭 https://lnkd.in/eYc5pTEe “Effective IA is essential for AI to access relevant data efficiently and to scale its capabilities, ultimately enhancing the performance of AI applications and systems. The process of data cleaning and curation, while key, is often overlooked, and serves as a barrier to entry for aspiring legal technologists. Gartner recently reported that at least 30% of GenAI projects currently ongoing will not proceed beyond proof of concept by the end of 2025 for a variety of reasons such as poor data quality, inadequate risk controls, ambiguous business value, and escalating costs.”

💡 This article discusses how law firms are increasingly bringing on data scientists to help them navigate the ethical and regulatory challenges posed by artificial intelligence. These experts play a key role in identifying biases in AI models and ensuring the technology is used responsibly and in compliance with legal standards. By adopting AI thoughtfully, firms aim to boost their efficiency and remain competitive in a technology-driven world. Some of the law firms involved in this initiative are DLA Piper, Clifford Chance or A&O Shearman. 📖 Read more: https://ow.ly/2BG950UhWAq

Thanks Nicole Gill and Cozen O'Connor and Reuters for this great analysis of where we are in the uses of #genai in #ediscovery. This article poses the core questions we are all being asked, including at Everlaw, about what needs to be disclosed, particularly if Gen AI is going to be used to reduce the set of documents subject to human review. At the very least, I think that Gen AI users in ediscovery should be prepared to disclose how they are maintaining security and client confidentiality and privacy for the content of both incoming and outgoing productions. Personally, I think that when it comes to how a set of data is reduced prior to review, the same concepts of QC and sampling should apply as we do (or should) with respect to the uses of search terms, predictive coding, clustering, or any other non-review means of bulk reduction. We need the same ways to make sure that we take reasonable steps not to leave responsive materials behind. I don't think that opposing parties should be getting into the weeds of each others prompts or searches (attorney work product!) so long as the sampling and QC is reasonably complete. https://lnkd.in/g8bxsuXn

We are excited to announce today a group acquisition to add the lawyers, data scientists, proprietary processes and technology from Luminos.Law LLP, an innovative multidisciplinary firm that blends legal advisory services with the skills of senior data scientists, to help clients better understand and effectively deploy transformative artificial intelligence technology. https://lnkd.in/e-SSVWGT The acquisition launches ZwillGen’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) division focusing on red team testing and audits for AI models and systems, alongside the firm’s long-standing legal and policy guidance around AI technology. https://lnkd.in/eyry7KvH

The Massachusetts Attorney General's Office just issued an Advisory concerning the use of #AI. The Advisory is essentially a reminder that there are existing laws to cover these systems, including Chapter 93A (i.e., unfair and deceptive acts and practices), Chapter 93H (i.e., protection of personal information), and Chapter 151B (i.e., discrimination). This is not just for developers - it is also a warning for USERS of AI systems like #ChatGPT, #Bard, and #Gemini. Does your business have an #AIplan to make sure your company's AI use is legally compliant? If not, it should, and we can help you get there. https://lnkd.in/dRuRsfYA
