About This Course
While some of the new technologies, like ChatGPT, are relatively recent, the concept of outsourcing work, especially the repetitive, administrative type – to computers is not new, particularly to lawyers. While no one wants to see a computer take-over, there’s no question that there are some tasks that computers are better suited to, and with their unlimited energy and inability to get distracted, it’s to everyone’s advantage to outsource. And yet, no one wants a robot for a litigator. So how to co-exist in a way that’s reasonable?
This CLE course will explain how layers can supervise the work that computers are undertaking, how it works in terms of client fees and how to balance the cost vs. convenience conflict of artificial intelligence in the workplace.
