Session: Driving legal innovation: opportunities and challenges
This talk invites lawyers to rethink the future of legal practice through the lens of artificial intelligence. Moving beyond hype, it demonstrates how AI can be responsibly and ethically integrated to significantly boost efficiency, elevate work quality and empower legal professionals rather than replace them. Through real-world examples and a clear, actionable framework for building AI-powered legal tech solutions, the speaker reveals the managerial, organisational, human and technical challenges of digital transformation - and how to overcome them - in one of the most tradition-bound professions: the practice of law.Key Takeaways
- It's essential to recognize that AI integration isn't merely a technical evolution but a paradigm shift, which may require some adjustment but certainly requires endorsement from the management and an active engagement of the staff.
