LawGPT? Generative AI, ChatGPT, LLMs, and the Legal Data-Driven Revolution

Join us in the Blue Stem Room.

Artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT, GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, and other Large Language Models (LLMs) are transforming the legal profession. And rapidly: GPT-4 not only passed the bar exam, it beat 90% of humans. This discussion — led by litigator, coder, and AI-builder Damien Riehl — will explore how AI is already shaping legal practice, as well as ways that the judiciary might use AI to better administer justice. He will also discuss how AI can help close the access-to-justice gap. Join us for this timely talk about how Generative AI will continue improving legal practice and justice.
