The Law Society of England and Wales has outlined a new artificial intelligence (AI) strategy aimed at ensuring responsible use of AI in the legal sector while driving innovation. The strategy focuses on three key outcomes: innovation, impact, and integrity. It emphasizes the need for law firms to adopt AI technologies that enhance service delivery, ensure AI is regulated effectively with input from the legal profession, and promote the ethical use of AI to support the rule of law and access to justice. The strategy also highlights the importance of improving data provenance and ensuring that legal professionals are equipped to work with AI technologies. In the coming months, the Law Society plans to engage with regulators and policymakers, offering resources and conducting research on AI’s impact on its members.
