A partner's take on what to consider when using AI

In the face of widespread adoption and utilisation of new technologies, there is much that lawyers across the board must take into account when using AI, from client confidentiality to guidance from the courts.

In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Mills Oakley partner Dalvin Chien to discuss why lawyers must care about ongoing tech developments, guidance that has been issued to and from the profession recently about AI use and what such guidance means, the importance of in-house policies for AI use, and the real-world problems that practitioners face when using AI in practice.

Chien also gets into what we've learnt from headline instances of AI use in recent times, practical steps to ensure responsible and effective use of AI tools, the best ways to boost productivity and client service delivery, the need for good training, and how the day-to-day roles of lawyers coming through the ranks will continue to evolve.
