![]() In Tunisia, the authorities invoked emergency powers to outlaw all demonstrations, fearing an outpouring of anti-Western protest inspired both by the American-made film and by cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad in a French satirical weekly.Īmerican diplomatic posts in India, Indonesia and elsewhere closed for the day. The unrest came as governments and Western institutions in many parts of the Muslim world braced for protests after Friday Prayer - an occasion often associated with demonstrations as worshipers leave mosques. Last month Relx was the only British company to be named in Bank of America’s list of the top 10 businesses most likely to benefit from AI.Here is a sample text, taken from the news:Ī television station employee was shot dead on Friday in the northwestern city of Peshawar as violent crowds filled the streets of several cities on a day of government-sanctioned protests against an anti-Islam film made in the United States. LexisNexis is owned by Relx, the FTSE 100-listed media and analytics company. The company said it will also launch a programme open to all legal professionals that will provide updates and education about generative AI. ![]() LexisNexis insisted it was developing the technology responsibly and with human oversight, taking action to prevent the creation or reinforcement of unfair bias. What it means to be a lawyer will evolve, as will the type of jobs available to them and the skills required for these.” She said: “Empathy, compassion and emotional intelligence will remain critical, as more generative AI grows. Lubna Shuja, president of the Law Society, said the time savings created by AI would help solicitors to develop their soft skills. The use of time-saving AI in the legal profession could also accelerate a move away from billable hours and towards fixed fees. ![]() He added: “The legal industry is no less immune from the winds of change than any other kind of profession, but this is an attempt to say: ‘We’ve looked at where ChatGPT and the like may be found wanting and we’ve come up with some that’s safer and better.’” Steve Kuncewicz, a partner at law firm Glaisyers, said AI could lead to fewer jobs and changes in roles, but insisted there would always be plenty of demand for humans. Last week, the chief executive of IT giant IBM warned AI will replace thousands of jobs over the next five years.Įxperts and regulators have also raised concerns about the potentially harmful consequences of chatbots, including scams and misinformation. ![]() However, the launch of the legal chatbot will likely fuel further concerns about job losses as nascent AI tools make automation ever easier. Jeff Pfeifer, chief product officer at LexisNexis, said: “Because our new, generative AI functionality is backed by verifiable, citable authority, users can conduct complex legal work in an environment that’s designed to mitigate the well-documented large language model risks of hallucination.” The company said this would ensure results are based on accurate information, avoiding the problem of “hallucinations” – or factually incorrect responses – often experienced by users of ChatGPT.īosses added that the technology would simplify and speed up the complex and time-consuming legal research process. LexisNexis, the company behind the chatbot, built and trained the AI on its database of legal documents and records. Top law firms including Baker McKenzie, Reed Smith and Foley & Lardner have signed up to trial the technology ahead of a wider rollout. Lawyers will be able to draft emails to clients and change the language or tone of a document, for example by making a cease and desist letter more aggressive. In one demonstration, bosses showed how the chatbot could summarise existing laws and regulations and provide examples of relevant cases to illustrate them. The new software, called Lexis+, will allow legal professionals to research case law, summarise documents and even draft letters. Law firms will use artificial intelligence (AI) to draft and edit legal documents using a chatbot similar to ChatGPT.
