LexisNexis launches groundbreaking AI product

LexisNexis Legal & Professional has launched a generative artificial intelligence (AI) product, Lexis+ AI, in the UK

Generative AI creates content such as text, imagery and audio whereas general AI learns and applies knowledge to perform intellectual tasks.

Lexis+ AI delivers conversational search, summarisation and drafting for legal professionals, incorporating privacy by design since customers’ searches don’t feed the language model.

Unlike ChatGPT, which can hallucinate, Lexis+ AI is trained on LexisNexis’s own trusted sources of information.

Mike Walsh, CEO, LexisNexis Legal & Professional, said generic AI carries risks for lawyers as it is not based on authoritative content, whereas Lexis+ AI is based on LexisNexis’ own content.

‘We have the largest repository of accurate and reliable content, and our tools interact with that,’ Walsh said.

‘We are on the cusp of something that is really quite profound in terms of its impact. All size firms and legal institutions will benefit. It will significantly change the speed of how the practice is conducted.’
