Afraid of generative AI? You're already using it in your practice in 4 ways: legal research, search engines, email filtering and organization, and voice recognition. Read more to understand how these work in your practice.
Easy intake and document automation to auto-populate your templates.
Everyone is talking about generative AI, and as we’ve discussed before in our guide on AI terminology for lawyers, generative AI is a type of machine learning (ML). What some don’t realize is that you’re already using ML in your everyday life as a lawyer. Let’s discuss four ways you’re already using ML:
When you search databases like Westlaw or Lexis, you're already using AI in legal research. These platforms rely on machine learning algorithms to scan and analyze vast amounts of case law and statutes, delivering relevant results with speed and accuracy. The sophistication of these tools lies in their ability to learn from extensive legal data, continually refining the precision of your search results.
Beyond legal-specific tools, you likely use search engines like Google for preliminary research and background checks. The ranking and relevance of search results are determined by complex ML models that learn from user interactions and searches. These algorithms are constantly updated to ensure you get the most relevant and useful information.
Your email service provider uses ML algorithms to filter spam and organize messages into folders. Services like Gmail even offer Smart Compose, which suggests ways to complete your sentences based on the context of your emails. This not only saves time but also helps maintain a clutter-free inbox.
Tools that convert speech to text, such as those used for transcribing interviews, court recordings, or dictating notes, rely on ML algorithms. These tools are designed to recognize and process natural language, making them invaluable for efficiently capturing and organizing spoken information.
Outside of your professional life, ML is everywhere:
All this to say, don’t be afraid of AI. You’re already using it in many aspects of your life, both personally and professionally. Taking a slow and steady approach to learning more about AI can help you harness its power even further, enhancing your practice and day-to-day activities. By understanding and embracing the technology you’re already using, you can stay ahead in the ever-evolving legal landscape and continue to provide top-notch service to your clients.
