\u2018ChatGPT Already Outperforms a lot of Junior Lawyers\u2019: An Interview With Richard Susskind<\/strong><\/a> — from law.com by Laura Beveridge
\nFor the last 20 years, the U.K. author and academic has been predicting that technology will revolutionise the legal industry. With the buzz around generative AI, will his hypothesis now be proven true?<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpts:<\/em><\/p>\n

For this generation of lawyers, their mission and legacy ought to be to build the systems that replace our old ways of working, he said. Moreover, Susskind identified new work for lawyers, such as legal process analyst or legal data scientist, emerging from technological advancement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are the people who will be building the systems that will be solving people\u2019s legal problems in the future.<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cThe question I ask is: imagine when the underpinning large language model is GPT 8.5.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Blue J Legal co-founder Benjamin Alarie on how AI is powering a new generation of legal tech<\/strong><\/a> — from canadianlawyermag.com by\u00a0Tim Wilbur<\/p>\n

Excerpts:<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

We founded Blue J with the idea that we should be able to bring absolute clarity to the law everywhere and on demand. The name that we give to this idea is the legal singularity. I have a book with assistant professor Abdi Aidid called\u00a0The Legal Singularity<\/a><\/em>\u00a0coming out soon on this idea.<\/p>\n

The book paints the picture of where we think the law will go in the next several decades. Our intuition was not widely shared when we started the book and Blue J.<\/p>\n

Since last November, though, many lawyers and journalists have been able to play with ChatGPT and other large language models. They suddenly understand what we have been excited about for the last eight years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Generative AI Is Coming For the Lawyers<\/strong><\/a> — from wired.com by Chris Stoken-Walker
\nLarge law firms are using a tool made by OpenAI to research and write legal documents. What could go wrong?<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpts:<\/em><\/p>\n

The rise of AI and its potential to disrupt the legal industry has been forecast\u00a0multiple\u00a0times\u00a0before. But the rise of the latest wave of generative AI tools, with ChatGPT at its forefront, has those within the industry more convinced than ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it is the beginning of a paradigm shift,\u201d says Wakeling. \u201cI think this technology is very suitable for the legal industry.\u201d
\n…
\nThe technology, which uses large datasets to learn to generate pictures or text that appear natural, could be a good fit for the legal industry, which relies heavily on standardized documents and precedents.<\/p>\n

\u201cLegal applications such as contract, conveyancing, or license generation are actually a relatively safe area in which to employ ChatGPT and its cousins,\u201d says Lilian Edwards, professor of law, innovation, and society at Newcastle University. \u201cAutomated legal document generation has been a growth area for decades, even in rule-based tech days, because law firms can draw on large amounts of highly standardized templates and precedent banks to scaffold document generation, making the results far more predictable than with most free text outputs.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the problems with current generations of generative AI have already started to show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
