Hey AI: We Want to Trust You But…
The old Cold War adage, ‘Trust but verify’, is once again relevant as law firms struggle to keep pace with the rapid rate of AI adoption. For legal professionals, the challenge isn’t just verifying AI’s accuracy; it’s the complicated process of trusting AI in the first place.
Enterprise Content Management expert, Brian Podolsky, will share notes from the field and specific techniques to ease the challenges of AI adoption in the law firm environment. Stacy Jenkins will provide use case scenarios pulled directly from ALA member firms, equipping all attendees with fresh ways to leverage the latest technology.
Join Remote or In Person: ALA Members Registration

Attend this session to gain fresh perspectives and conversational fluency around these topical questions:

Should law firms trust Generative AI solutions?
