The dawn of artificial intelligence (AI) in the legal sector is becoming increasingly tangible, despite its previously disastrous results and ongoing limitations. The journey mirrors that of any revolutionary technology – gradual progress towards realising its full potential while meeting skepticism.
Now, firms can’t ignore the call of their clients craving AI-driven solutions. The challenge remains to marry technology with purpose and deliver the game-changer AI application for legal practice.
Lexis has taken a significant step in this direction, launching Lexis+ AI for U.S. users. This product, the development of which has been closely watched over recent months, is being touted for its versatility, from composition of sternly-worded letters to insightful legal drafting.
Lexis+ AI is touted as having conversational search functionality, intelligent legal drafting, swift summarization, and document upload capabilities, all while maintaining stringent encryption and privacy standards. The product’s evolution is seen as an ongoing journey, which will grow with the advancement of technology.
- Conversational search interacts with users to explore new legal insights and finesse outputs.
- The document drafting feature efficiently generates legal arguments, contract clauses, or client communication from a basic user prompt.
- Summarization functionality creates case summaries within seconds, with more features due for release soon.
- Document upload capability expedites the analysis, summarization, and key insight extraction from legal documents.
Lexis+ AI utilizes a range of large language models, incorporating GPT-4 and Anthropic’s Claude 2, aiming to optimize outcomes for lawyers and limiting the types of artificial mishaps that can potentially jeopardize trial proceedings. Pricing of the platform is contingent on the features and data access needed by each user.
While the product promises fast, actionable results, its precise performance under real-world legal tasks remains a question for users to answer. Those intrigued can explore Lexis+ AI more at this link.
