Legal Innovation: Choosing the Best AI Tools and Strategies for Success

Gain a better understanding of AI and how it can be employed in the legal profession to produce benefits, while simultaneously understanding potential risks and how to mitigate them.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) AI involves the development of computer algorithms that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and language translation. The data suggests a significant and widespread use of AI in the legal profession, even in cases where it may not be officially sanctioned or approved. As a result, legal professionals are best served by developing a robust understanding of AI and how it can be employed in the legal profession to produce benefits, while simultaneously understanding potential risks and how to mitigate them. This webinar provides just this understanding.

The objectives of this course are to help you understand the basics of artificial intelligence, how it can both positively and negatively impact the legal industry, and the approaches to take to harness its benefits while mitigating the risks associated with its potential drawbacks.
