Additional Tools & Strategies

  • Learn AI Basics

    • Generative AI (GenAI) is software that can generate language, pictures, or computer code, typically from plain text prompts.  
    • GenAI relies on large language models (LLM), which analyze massive sets of existing content and data, associated with predictive algorithms.
    • Lawyers have used AI tools for years – for example, to organize and search through sets of documents; identify patterns in data and cases; produce draft contracts; and automate tasks like approval workflows and data collection.
    • As new GenAI tools become available, in-house lawyers are finding new ways to boost their productivity– e.g., to analyze contracts, create first drafts of policies, communications, and presentations, or conduct research on legal topics (subject to thorough human review).
    • GenAI models are only as good as the data used to train them. Erroneous or irrelevant information, or insufficient data sets, may cause GenAI to generate content that looks correct but is inaccurate or made up (“hallucinations”).
    • “Agentic” AI tools are now being introduced - digital agents capable of operating computer tools and performing workflows and routine tasks autonomously (with human supervision).
