ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵapp

Traditionally, the law has been slow to adopt new technologies. However, legal practitioners are already using AI to automate tasks such as document review, contract analysis and predicting court outcomes.

As interest grows around technology-driven legal practice, the impact of technology on the legal profession is likely to be far-reaching and transformative.

In this panel session, we will discuss:

• How is AI being used in the legal profession?
• Will AI have a profound impact on the practice of law?
• What are the threats and challenges of implementing AI in legal practice when it comes to regulation?
