A Taxonomy of AI in Legal Practice

Do you feel like the hype around AI has gone too far? This session cuts through the noise, introducing a practical "Taxonomy of AI" for litigators. We will dismantle the myth that all AI tools are the same by (i) developing an understanding of the so-called “jagged frontier” of today’s AI models, and (ii) categorizing practical AI tools based on their function. You will learn to distinguish between summarization offerings, drafting assistants, and legal research platforms. This taxonomy of AI will empower you to confidently leverage AI's strengths to drive unprecedented efficiency and value for your clients — all while you continue to uphold your professional duties of oversight and diligence.
