AI, Law and the laboratory

There is no stopping AI, and no industry is more enmeshed with the advancements than the legal profession. And it is now the professional responsibility of all attorneys to understand this technology and the impact upon the legal system and the administration of justice. To address this concern, the American Arbitration Association (AAA) adopted an innovation mindset to encourage its staff to experiment with the ever widening array of generative AI efforts, launching their AAAi Lab.

AAA formed an internal Innovation Team so they could experiment with AI tools in a safe environment to see how it might assist their members and other legal professionals. Hear about the results and how it relates to your own practice!
