return on investments

In today's modern age of tech, few things have captured everyone's attention, imagination and investment so quickly and so broadly as AI has, including within the legal industry. Today we are in a storm of hype around AI, with information and misinformation swirling about and new AI-driven tools introduced almost weekly. Even those most pragmatic about technology are left confused, and many have set unrealistic expectations about what AI can and can't do in their current environments.

Overall, the legal industry has struggled to deliver real value commensurate with the costs incurred with implementing new tools. Increasingly sophisticated corporate legal teams clearly recognize this and gravitate toward those firms that can add greater value. While AI can potentially drive innovation and improve efficiency, unfocused investments in AI can expose inaccurate and misleading information and insights that fail to add real value. So it's important to proceed with caution.
