The Disconnect Between Law Firms and Clients on Use of Gen AI

Senior leaders at large law firms and executives in corporate legal departments are largely in agreement that Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) tools are likely to have a dramatic impact on the practice of law in the years ahead. But there are some notable and intriguing gaps between how firm leaders and their clients are thinking about a future in which Gen AI is a routine part of their workflows. In January of 2024, LexisNexis surveyed 216 managing partners and other senior leaders at large law firms, as well as 50 executives in corporate legal departments at Fortune 1000 companies, to better understand the business impact of Gen AI technology on the legal industry. Our survey found that a similar share of law firm leaders (75%) and corporate legal executives (81%) have used Gen AI tools themselves, and roughly the same number of senior executives expect their investments in Gen AI technologies to increase either “significantly” or “modestly” over the next five years (90% in law firms, 86% in corporations). But there was an interesting disconnect between law firm leaders and their in-house counterparts when we asked for their predictions and expectations surrounding how Gen AI will impact the law firm/client relationship… Download a free report of our 2024 Investing in Legal Innovation Survey: The Rise of Gen AI at Top Firms and Corporations.”

Google DeepMind unveils AI football tactics coach honed with Liverpool

Google DeepMind has developed a prototype artificial intelligence football tactician in collaboration with Premier League club Liverpool, in the latest push to use the technology to master the ebb and flow of big-money sports. The computerised coach’s suggested improvements to players’ positions at corner kicks — a large potential source of goals — mostly won approval from human experts, according to a paper published in Nature Communications on Tuesday.

Why a California police department is replacing suspects’ faces with Lego heads

The Murrieta, California, police department has gained recognition this year for its creative placement of Lego heads over suspects’ faces in images taken during arrests and bookings, leaving many of their Instagram followers wondering why.

In a message posted Monday, the Police Department explained that on Jan. 1, a new law restricted how and when law enforcement agencies in California can share photos and mugshots.

Which AI should I use? Superpowers and the State of Play

One Useful Thing – And then there were three, Ethan Mollick: “For over a year, GPT-4 was the dominant AI model, clearly much smarter than any of the other LLM systems available. That situation has changed in the last month, there are now three GPT-4 class models, all powering their own chatbots: GPT-4 (accessible through ChatGPT Plus or Microsoft’s CoPilot), Anthropic’s Claude 3 Opus, and Google’s Gemini Advanced1. There is a lot of debate over which of these models are best, with dueling tests suggesting one or another dominates, but the answer is not clear cut. All three have different personalities and strengths, depending on whether you are coding or writing. Gemini is an excellent explainer but doesn’t let you upload files, GPT-4 has features (namely Code Interpreter and GPTs ) that greatly extend what it can do, and Claude is the best writer and seems capable of surprising insight. The models all have different guardrails and biases, though those are always changing as the AI labs fine-tune their models further. But beyond the differences, there are four important similarities to know about…”
