Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to computer software and systems that do not just do tasks they have been programmed for in advance; they actually learn as they go, improving their performance through feedback. AI refers to inspiration of human intelligence processes by machines, particularly computer systems. AI has already begun to make its mark on various industries, and the legal profession is no exception.  It is taking the legal world by storm and lawyers are embracing the change, despite their traditional resistance to technology.  It is empowering legal professionals to exceed expectations, boost efficiency, enhance compliance, drive better decision-making, and improve client service. This paper discusses how and why corporate legal departments are embracing AI in their complex legal practice.
