Our Founder, Gav Ward, is pleased to have contributed in December to The Legal AI Retrospective by Genie AI, The World’s Most Secure AI Legal Assistant.
A compelling exploration of AI’s transformative impact on the legal industry, the report delves into emerging trends like advanced natural language processing, explainable AI, and the democratisation of contract law, providing a forward-looking analysis of where the profession is headed.
My insights highlighted AI’s potential to redefine the legal market and its challenges:
1. On the pace of AI-driven change in law:
“With perhaps the most rapid change in legal tech since the PC’s invention, AI is transforming the legal services market and redefining what it means to be a lawyer from 2025 onwards.”
2. On the importance of legal professionals adapting responsibly:
“AI in legal is not without its challenges. Unskilled use risks hallucinations, potentially doubling checking time (Inkster’s Law), underscoring the ongoing need for awareness and CPD in this area for legal professionals.”
This retrospective is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of AI and legal practice. Would note, too, that it shares MANY different views and voices so don’t be surprised if there is a change in dialogue throughout. In times of change with AI’s impact on the legal profession, it’s better to have more than fewer viewpoints.
