Generative artificial intelligence (“GenAI” or “GAI”), including ChatGPT, has now widely permeated our lives for nearly a year. GAI is not just embedded in headlines and popular culture, but increasingly in platforms utilized by attorneys and their clients. While some have rushed to start using it in hopes of automating document reviews, crafting first drafts of contracts, or performing legal research, others are wary of its accuracy and ability to preserve the confidentiality of client information.
How do we preserve the integrity of our profession and the critical services attorneys provide while learning how to embrace the possibilities of enhanced efficiency, productivity, and profitability? How do you identify and assess the risks and then mitigate them, and what could happen if you don’t?
