Accelerating Data Insights: Unleash the Power of OpenText Axcelerate with Aviator

54% of general counsel say they are looking to AI technologies to free up time and allow them to focus on high-value work

Impact of GenAI on Legal Tech

Generative AI – leveraging the power of large language models (LLMs) to create content – is a high-priority topic for both in-house and law firm legal professionals. As legal practitioners struggle with the increasing volume and complexity of data, shrinking budgets, increasing regulatory scrutiny, and expanded responsibilities in risk management, they have no choice but to leverage technology to help improve outcomes, lower costs, and control risk. The disruptive and lasting impact that generative AI will have on the way that the legal profession will evolve over the next few years cannot be overstated. 

A recent study conducted by OpenText in collaboration with the Corporate Counsel Business Journal confirmed that many legal leaders are planning to apply generative AI to their work activities. The top use case for Gen AI, cited by 42% of respondents, is document summarization.  When asked about eDiscovery-specific tasks, 41% of respondents said they were most comfortable using generative AI to create summaries or narratives to educate reviewers on case details.

Old ways of carrying out legal and related administrative tasks will fall away as forward-thinking practitioners embrace the power of large language models to automate formerly cumbersome and often repetitive low-value tasks, freeing up time to allow them to focus on high-value work.
