Generative AI holds significant transformative potential for the legal profession and is already being adopted for use by some of the world’s major law firms and by many legal tech vendors.
ChatGPT hit the world by storm in late 2022 and is the best known, general, open source generative AI large language model (LLM). “Harvey”, Counsel AI’s proprietary generative AI platform built on GPT-4 and developed specifically for lawyers is the best example of a LLM relevant to the legal profession. There are no Harvey demos available on the internet, and PwC is the only one of the Big 4 licensed to use Harvey, so come along to this exclusive ACC HK session if you’re interested in seeing Harvey in action.
But generative AI technologies like Harvey and ChatGPT are not the only game in town that can modernise and transform the way you practice law in-house. Leading GC’s in Hong Kong have already implemented different legal tech solutions ranging from intake & triage systems to legal operations, contract lifecycle management, document management, matter management and knowledge management solutions to name a few. Hear first-hand from three forward-thinking GCs about their views on legal tech, and the efficiency and cost-saving benefits that such investment delivers both their in-house legal team and their internal business clients.
This is a not-to-be-missed event. Register now as places are limited.
