Sophie Bacqueville explores the opportunities and risks of AI for law firms.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made major advances in recent years. As early as 2016, Google’s AlphaGo defeated Lee Sedol, the world Go champion, and outperformed humans in complex video games. Today, it is ChatGPT and other forms of generative AI that are standing out: ChatGPT set the record as the fastest-growing AI ever! Just two months after its launch, 170 million people worldwide had already used it. AlphaGo was impressive, but it did not change the world in the way ChatGPT has, which immediately reached a tipping point. Why? Because ChatGPT does not require advanced expertise and is easy to access.
