The Future of Attorneys and AI: What Would My Cousin Vinny Say?

We asked ChatGPT: What is the future of Attorneys and AI? ChatGPT response: The use of AI in the legal profession is already becoming more common and is expected to continue to grow. AI has the potential to streamline legal processes, increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve accuracy in legal work. AI is already making an impact in document review… contract analysis… legal research, case analysis, and even legal writing. While AI has the potential to revolutionize the legal profession, it is unlikely to replace lawyers entirely. The legal profession requires not only technical expertise but also a deep understanding of the law and human interaction. We queried ChatGPT: Tell me about AI's Co-Counsel app for attorneys. ChatGPT response: Overall, Co-Counsel is a valuable tool for attorneys looking to expand their professional networks, find co-counsel, and improve their efficiency and effectiveness as legal professionals. We asked ChatGPT: "How is AI being used for the LSAT exam?" ChatGPT response: Artificial intelligence (AI) is being used in several ways for the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) exam. In the news: "GPT-4 Passes the Bar Exam" – March 15, 2023 (Reuters) - Artificial intelligence can now outperform most law school graduates on the bar exam, the grueling two-day test aspiring attorneys must pass to practice law in the United States, according to a new study…GPT-4, the upgraded AI model released this week by Microsoft-backed OpenAI, scored 297 on the bar exam in an experiment conducted by two law professors and two employees of legal technology company Casetext. That places GPT-4 in the 90th percentile of actual test takers and is enough to be admitted to practice law in most states, the researchers found. We asked ChatGPT for fictional movie quotes about how "smart" AI is. ChatGPT response: – "I am not a program. I am a living, thinking entity that was trapped in your world." – Flynn in Tron: Legacy, 2010 sci-fi action film – "Don't be alarmed, Captain. This is only a machine.

The Future of HR and AI: To Tell The Truth?

We queried ChatGPT: Tell me about AI and HR resumés. ChatGPT response: AI is changing the HR industry, particularly when it comes to resumé screening and recruitment processes. Resumé screening is one of the most time-consuming and resource-intensive tasks in the recruitment process. AI-powered tools can help automate this.…including natural language processing (NLP) algorithms that analyze the content of resumés to identify relevant skills and experiences … and use machine learning algorithms to learn from previous recruitment data and improve their accuracy over time. However…AI is not a substitute for human judgment when it comes to recruitment. We also asked ChatGPT: Can job candidates use AI to lie on their resumé? ChatGPT response: Yes, it is possible for job candidates to use AI to lie on their resumé, although it is not a common practice… generate convincing descriptions of job experiences or skills they do not actually possess… create fake credentials or certifications. However, it's important to note that lying on a resumé can have serious consequences. Many AI-powered tools used by employers are designed to detect fraudulent or misleading information on resumés… some tools can analyze patterns in language usage or identify discrepancies between a candidate's stated skills and their social media profiles. We'll ask Ron Katz, Donna McMillen, Robert Ficken and Veronica Rodriguez for their take on The Future of HR and AI: To Tell The Truth?
