Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming our world and the practice of law at a rapid pace. The recent release of generative AI has been heralded as a revolutionary intellectual and technological development. With a few text prompts, "Gen AI" can create new text, images, audio, video, 3D models, data, or other work product that previously could only be produced by humans.

AI has the potential to improve many aspects of legal practice, including increasing the speed at which tasks can be done and boosting productivity. AI also presents significant challenges, including the need to protect confidential client information, ensure accurate outputs, and mitigate privacy, security, and intellectual property risks.

In order to address these issues, the book contains reflections and chapters by more than 40 preeminent AI and legal experts from in-house legal departments, private practice, academia, government, and the judiciary. The book covers a wide range of important topics concerning AI and the law and provides practical advice to attorneys, judges, and executives on how to navigate this complex and rapidly evolving technology.

The topics include:

  • A primer on key AI concepts
  • Overarching legal issues, including AI governance and ethics
  • AI and law practice management, including the use of digital assistants, AI use cases for lawyers, and paths to the responsible use of AI by lawyers
  • AI and the courts
