Artificial intelligence (AI) in legal sector workplaces is generating stereotyped images, portraying CEOs and lawyers as men while using images of women for less professional roles

Women in the legal profession surveyed by campaigning groups the Next 100 Years and She Breaks the Law highlighted other AI biases such as defaulting to the male pronoun. Only 12% of respondents thought adoption of AI and new tech at their workplace had been fully inclusive of diverse perspectives.

Most (83%) felt informed on AI, but 42% said concerns about accuracy and bias are the biggest barrier to take-up of AI in the legal profession.

Dana Denis-Smith, founder of the Next 100 Years, said she would like to see more women in leadership roles in this area and helping to shape the ethical frameworks around these technologies.
