Hey there, legal eagles! It's your friendly neighborhood Technocat! Here to talk about the robot lawyer takeover in my latest cheeky video @the_Technocat YouTube.
Generative AI tools like Chat GPT have been trending like crazy since the end of 2022. There is a ton of hype, but much like the internet in the 2000's there is also substance to back it up. Generative AI and AI broadly speaking is transforming the practice of law, and there is no going back!
Simply put, the Robot Lawyers are here, now what?!
In this informative and irreverent video, I explore the rise of chatbots, AI, and generative AI in the legal industry. And what it means for lawyers today.
Should Lawyers be Afraid, Very Afraid?
Is there a future where AmLaw Partners are holding signs along Broadway in threadbare Brooks Brothers suits holding signs saying: "will litigate for food.”
Not just yet!
Artificial Intelligence is not going anywhere. But it is not here to replace you like some robo-terminator-esquire. The future is far more like Ironman, where tech enables and amplifies the human using it!
Heck, ChatGPT can even be a lawyer’s wingman!
Now is the time to embrace, adapt and leverage AI-powered legal tech as your secret weapon. This video shares practical tips to not just survive, but to thrive in a post-generative AI and ChatGPT world!
Don't worry, my legal friends, because I have specific guidance for you to survive and thrive in the age of AI.
Some of these tips include:
- Embrace the bots (and yes even our robot overlords). Learn how to use legal tech solutions with AI to make your life easier and impress your clients with how tech-savvy you are. From legal research to doc review or contract review, AI-powered tech can make you like Ironman!
- It's not just about knowing the law anymore, my friend. Now is the time to begin learning data analytics, project management, and process improvement. You'll be the talk of the town (and the firm).
- Don't forget, you're still human (for now). Use your personal touch in giving legal advice. Leverage empathy and creativity to give your clients that warm and fuzzy feeling they can only get from a living, breathing, human lawyer.
- If you're not up to date with the latest tech, you might as well be living under a rock. Take some courses or attend some conferences so you don't get left behind in the legal Stone Age.
- Collaborate with AI to make your job easier, faster, and more accurate. It's like having a robot assistant but with less sass (unless your prompt says “yes, but cheekier”).
- Don't worry about being replaced by a robot just yet. Human lawyers should focus on those non-automatable tasks in legal representation. Be a master negotiator, resolve disputes with a smile or institutional knowledge, and even chat up clients like your old pals.
Keep up with the times, my friend. Be open to new tech and ideas, and who knows, you might just become the coolest lawyer in town. Or at least the most gainfully employed!
What Does a Future with Robot Lawyers Hold?
Machine learning, AI, and Generative AI like Chat GPT are reshaping the legal profession. And this rising tide cannot and will not stop.
Embrace it.
There is no need to fear algorithms or artificial intelligence if you are willing to learn and adapt. And the same goes for Law firms, new technologies are changing how we live, work, and play.
The bad news is there is no way to stop this freight train.
But the GREAT news is that there is a ton of opportunity for the practice of law to evolve. Automation and AI tools can free you up to focus on the legal work they went to law school for. Armed with quicker and more accurate insights into ESI AI-powered tech is your secret weapon.
The world’s first Robot Lawyer, DoNotPay may have flamed out before hitting the supreme court. But that does not mean the specter of Ai- Powered lawyers is dead. Robot lawyers will be more like Ironman than the terminator in the future. Human Center AI working hand in glove with savvy lawyers is a game changer. And these robot-powered lawyers are already reshaping the legal profession.
Remember, the legal industry has always been evolving, and it's important to adapt to new changes. So don't fear the robot lawyer takeover. Embrace it as an opportunity to enhance your skills and provide better legal services to your clients.
