I contributed an article to the March 2024 issue of the Journal of the Delaware State Bar Association, discussing the rapidly evolving state of artificial intelligence and its impact on legal practice.
Despite some high-profile early missteps in over-reliance on
generative A.I. tools, it is clear that there is a place for A.I.
in modern legal practice. I expect that it will ultimately
have a bigger footprint behind the scenes in day-to-day work,
rather than remaining front and center in the spotlight, but my key
takeaway is that attorney education, knowledge, and a baseline of
understanding around A.I. tools is critical to legal practice going
forward. There are many valuable resources and a breadth of
existing knowledge in regard to the application of A.I. tools, and
validation of subsequent data output, familiar to attorneys
working in the legal technology space over the last two decades,
which our colleagues would do well to inquire on.
