Artificial intelligence in the legal industry: The future - Part 3

In the final article of Information Age's three part series on artificial intelligence in the legal industry, we look at how law firms can adopt AI and if AI represents the future of law. This series has been taken an extensive look – with the help of Geoffrey Vance, the chair of Perkins Coie's E-Discovery Services and Strategy Practice, and Alvin Lindsay, partner at Hogan Lovells – at how technology can disrupt a traditional industry, and emphasised the point that'every company is a technology company'. In the first of this three part series on AI in legal industry, we looked at what the stage of AI adoption in law, and how it is – if at all – creating a more strategic role for associates in law firms. The article established that AI adoption was at a fairly early stage, although its use is not a new phenomenon. It also became clear that, as suggested by a report from ALM Intelligence, AI will be crucial in helping law firms overcome challenges and survive moving forward.
