In the last of the three leading-edge sessions on artificial intelligence at this year’s ILTACon, folks will be hearing from Anna Moca of White and Case, Amy Monaghan of Perkins Coie, Jonathan Talbot of DLA Piper, and Julian Tsisin of Google. The panel is being coordinated by Ginevra Saylor, of Dentons. I will be moderating this exciting panel along with the other two panels in the AI series at the ILTACON17.
“Implementing AI tools into legal work is not the easy button everyone wishes for. These are powerful tools that make measurable differences when implemented properly and used in appropriate areas of focus. Join our session to hear insights we have gained from introducing AI tools at our firms.” — Amy Monaghan, Perkins Coie
In part three of this three-part series on artificial intelligence (AI), we’ll take a deep dive into how law firms and legal departments are using AI in practice today to achieve results for their organizations and value for their clients.
Watch this ILTA webinar, hosted by Beth Patterson of Allens, which provides a great intro to AI & the law and hear from William Caraher CIO of Von Briesen & Roper, about the firms adoption and implementation of ROSS here.
“I would like to stress the importance of doing a more formal vendor evaluation analysis when selecting an ML-based product. The “Legal AI” field has been (and still is to a certain degree) the Wild West of LegalTech but various products are becoming more commoditized and often there are more than 2 products that can satisfy a particular use case.
In addition, the buy v. build analysis should also be performed in some cases. Realistically, most users will still decide to engage with an external vendor but going through this analysis will help us all become better consumers of this technology.” — Julian Tsisin, Google
“I feel very fortunate to be in the AI/legal “mix” at the moment. In particular, it is interesting to see how the classic “build or buy” dilemma is evolving into a “train or trust” dilemma.
The more lawyer time is spent training the system, the more robust the AI solution; but at what point does the investment of valuable fee-earner time yield diminishing returns? This is one of many questions we have as we begin to experiment with this technology. Also, I just think it’s all very cool! I’m looking forward to what is sure to be a lively conversation with the panel and audience.” — Anna Moça, White & Case
“When we examine what it takes to practically roll out an AI solution it is no different than any other new technology program. It is more about Change Management than AI.” — Jonathan Talbot, DLA Piper
Have some suggestions for questions I should ask Anna, Amy, Jonathan, or Julian? Or maybe a question I should ask the whole panel? Send them my way via Twitter!
