Perspectives S37/Ep1 How Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the legal profession

Two years have passed since ChatGPT was launched, and while many industries are still getting used to the idea, the legal field is taking full advantage. Reviewing legal evidence to find a “smoking gun” can be a major time commitment for legal professionals. But with new AI products, lawyers, paralegals, and district attorneys are getting work done faster than ever before. On the show is Everlaw Chief Legal Officer, Gloria Lee. She says many of us have an image in our minds of legal teams in a backroom, with stacks of bankers’ boxes filled with documents in them – perhaps in a Suits episode, or the Pelican Brief – but today, legal teams are using generative AI to tame those mountains of digital data. In an era driven by AI and innovation, legal professionals are working alongside this technology, tapping it like a new Smart Intern, to help lay the groundwork for cases more efficiently.
