How, and to what extent, is the legal profession engaging with generative artificial intelligence (gen AI)?
Writing in NLJ, Dr Charanjit Singh, tenant barrister-at-law, Holborn Chambers and PhD, University of Southampton, addresses this question.
Singh notes the technology could transform the way lawyers work and it could improve security. He looks at the potential benefits and costs of gen AI as well as investment in the sector, transparency and ethical issues, and cybersecurity.
He writes: ‘The lack of trust that surrounds the gen AI decision-making capability has limited its growth. The algorithms are difficult to understand, even when accessible, given the proprietary commercial property protection issues related to them.’
