This article by Joanna Goodman (author of Robots in Law: How Artificial Intelligence is Transforming Legal Services) is an excellent recap of a Luminance-sponsored roundtable discussion by in-house counsel of the AI tools they have used and their success with them. It also touches on the changes going on in the legal world generally. It’s a very worthwhile read.
- From Above the Law, this discussion of the evolution of AI applications in legal work from hype to more realism.
Ireland-based McCann FitzGerald has launched a GDPR Gap Analysis Application. “Built with an AI-engine supplied by Neota Logic as part of a long term development agreement, the app assesses an organization’s GDPR compliance level by asking a series of questions.”
- Also from Above the Law, three ways AI may create more law firm clients and jobs for lawyers: “Artificial Confusion: AI Will Create More Legal Jobs – Not Take Them Away.”
“The Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General and the Legal Innovation Zone launched an artificial intelligence (AI) legal challenge to encourage law firms to use technology companies that apply AI to legal applications.” Here are descriptions of the work on the six finalists. Interesting stuff.
From June Hsiao Liebert, Director of Library and Research Services at Sidley: “Law Firms & Technology – 6 Vital Questions to Ask Your Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics Vendors.” Hint: it’s all about the data.
- AI for A2J has come to Russia! Law.com reports that, “Pravoved, a Russian legal marketplace, has designed a chatbot platform to consult Russian citizens on consumer rights protection.” It sounds pretty sophisticated.
Artificial Lawyer reports that Jim Cramer’s The Street has engaged Seal Software, to “leverage its capabilities for a broader range of contract analysis uses,” and for “GDPR compliance issues.”
