  • Examines advents in disruptive generative AI that could provide solutions in legal practice.
  • Explores ethical issues and matters pertaining to discrimination and bias, safeguarding, and mitigation.
  • Notes the current position in relation to investment in disruptive generative AI.

Once again, the finance industry is leading the charge; it has been quietly developing the power of generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) as an operational tool.
