ABOUT THIS EPISODE

AI, and its subset generative AI, are poised to alter legal practice in ways known and as of yet, unknown. Joshua Walker’s 2019 book On Legal AI – published a few years before ChatGPT was released – wound up predicting many of the issues with which we now grapple, from “unbridled” software development cycles that challenge legal practice, to the use of AI as a tool for legal decision-making. In this discussion, Joshua and Dave explore what underscores the potential for AI to enhance legal processes and yield positive outcomes, and where the pitfalls and potential lies. Not just for lawyers, but for all who seek to incorporate algorithmic thinking into their professional lives.
