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

Should law firms trust Generative AI solutions?
How can law firms trust AI solutions with their documents and work product? Which questions should you be asking your DMS vendors, iManage, NetDocuments and beyond…
How is AI increasing the risk of unauthorized data access and which security governance measures should be prioritized?
How can use cases build trust, and increase adoption of AI tools?
