Why is it critical for lawyers to understand the limits of AI as they begin incorporating the technology into their work? MiLA Director Dr. Or Cohen-Sasson answers this question and more? in The American Lawyer journalist Jon Campisi’s two-part series discussing the practical implementation of artificial intelligence into both Big Law and the law industry as a whole. A pioneer in this field, Dr. Cohen-Sasson leads MiLA’s efforts to educate current and future lawyers on the responsible and effective use of AI in their work, while also overseeing the lab’s ongoing development of AI technologies for legal professionals. While AI poses potential risks, such as possible bias, it also offers solutions to some of the legal profession's most pressing challenges. With rapid advancements in AI technology, tools are becoming increasingly reliable and capable of transforming the practice of law. Link to both articles below ??
