While artificial intelligence (AI) continues its charge through various industries, training for legal professionals in the use of the technology has proved something of a challenge. Many existing programs are either too generalised or overly technical, or they are wedded to early-stage tools whose evolution is often unpredictable due to factors such as corporate acquisitions and product development.
Addressing this concern, an impressive consortium—including 10 Am Law 200 firms and one Global 200 firm—have joined forces to test and shape a vendor-agnostic generative AI training program. Developed by SkillBurst Interactive, this program is aimed at equipping legal professionals with the fundamental skills required for effective use of these quickly evolving tools. The notable legal industry members in this consortium include Norton Rose and Hogan Lovells.
Legal professionals and firms who aspire to stay ahead in their game in the era of AI will find it beneficial to observe the outcomes of this venture. The program anticipates establishing a much-needed bridge between advanced AI tools and the specific requirements of legal practice.
