Evaluating the Impact of AI on Law

Neil Sahota, an IBM Master Inventor, United Nations Emerging Technology Advisor, and a Professor at UC Irvine is the AI expert who understands how and why we need to stop being concerned that artificial intelligence will take over our world. With over 20 years of business experience, Neil inspires clients and business partners to foster innovation and develop next generation products and solutions – all powered by AI.

Law firms are not immune to this global transformation. However, resistance still abounds with some law firms which still find data as something to be avoided, usually because they are unclear on where the value actually is. With an evidence on burden of proof, evidence and analysis, AI adoption could be a powerful asset for most firms. The time is now to join the practice of law with the business of delivering legal services. Data can be turned into information which then provide insights. This is what clients are seeking from their counsels today.

Examples of the practical usea of AI that the competition is already successfully using include:

  • Creating fixed fees easily and successfully
  • Jury selection
  • Talent – how to get and keep the best
  • Deposition reviews

The Practice of Law is Changing

Law firms can no longer sit back and wonder if AI will disrupt how their firms are practicing law and delivering services to their clients. There are too many AI success stories and forward-thinking firms leading the pack solving clients’ business problems. Neil engages audiences with practical examples and solutions to help firms adopt the changing landscape of the practice of law.

In the spring of 2019, Neil’s book, Own the A.I. Revolution, stunned readers with story laden inspiring successes and plain speak strategies that overcome concerns that many feel about AI. Neil teaches readers just how to unlock AI strategies to disrupt their competition.

Neil’s talks are tailored for each specific audience offering meaningful, relevant, and actionable take-aways. He focuses on the “3 Es” of AI:

  1. Education – building awareness and understanding on what is AI.
  2. Empowerment – providing the guidance and frameworks so (non-technical) people can identify and pursue opportunities.
  3. Enablement – exposing the tools and techniques to start creating a solution.

Neil has several offerings. Depending on your law firm’s needs:

  • Give a TED-style talk that focuses on one specific topic (15 minutes)
  • Deliver a keynote address based on the theme/outcomes of your event (30-90 minutes)
  • Conduct a tactical workshop in which your participants will walk away with a completed deliverable and actionable plan (0.5 – 3 days)
