The power of convergence: Harnessing AI and IG for legal excellence – Part II

Chris GilesWelcome to Part II of our exploration into the intersection of Information Governance (IG) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in today's legal landscape. In Part I, we established the foundational importance of IG as the bedrock upon which AI's transformative potential is built within law firms. We discussed how having accurate and easily accessible data is essential for utilising AI technologies effectively, helping firms work more efficiently, adhere to strict legal regulations, and maintain a competitive edge.

The Power of Convergence: Harnessing AI and IG for Legal Excellence – Part I

Chris GilesOur technological landscape is changing. The combination of information governance (IG) and artificial intelligence (AI) is a turning point for improving operational performance, handling risk, and encouraging innovation. As legal practices face the growing complexity of data management, adopting clear and thorough IG strategies is crucial. IG, which includes various policies, methods, and technologies for managing and protecting information, sets the stage for using AI effectively. Integrating AI provides opportunities to improve efficiency, make better decisions, and automate routine tasks. However, combining AI and IG comes with its own challenges, requiring a careful balance between embracing innovation and following regulations. This discussion will explore the relationship between IG and AI within legal firms, emphasising the need for a well-planned strategy to use their combined benefits while reducing risks.

Streamlining data management: Key steps in data reduction – Part 2

Antony WellsIn our first article, we outlined the significance of data minimisation for law firms, especially as they transition to electronic and cloud-based document management systems. We covered the definition and principles of data minimisation, the challenges of moving to cloud environments, and the importance of minimising data prior to migration to streamline processes and reduce risks. We touched on the benefits for law firms such as reduced storage costs and enhanced cybersecurity. We concluded Part 1 emphasising the strategic advantages of data minimisation in cost reduction, security enhancement, and compliance, urging law firms to prioritise these practices in their digital transformation efforts.

Streamlining data management: Key steps in data reduction – Part 1

Antony WellsWhile technology and new compliance regulations are growing at an alarming rate, legal services face the challenge of handling data, particularly with the shift towards online and cloud-based systems for document management. The increase in the amount of data brings more responsibility in managing the costs of storage and data transfer, as well as protecting the confidentiality of client information against unauthorised access. This article, the first in a series, looks at data minimisation as a strategy for managing data, focusing on keeping only what is necessary for valid legal reasons.

Ascertus’ Perspective on Legal Tech Trends in 2024

Damian JealComing into 2023, who would have thought that generative AI will cause such a frenzy globally. After all, not only has AI been on the horizon for a long time, but it has already been in use, even though it might be invisible to us as end users. And perhaps therein lies the difference between AI and generative AI – the latter uses natural (i.e., human) language processing, making the technology supremely accessible to everyone.
