How AI is Transforming Workflow in Legal Tech with Kassi Burns

37:23 min

Between The Briefs and Adrian Cea are back with a new guest – Kassi Burns, a renowned figure in the realms of e-discovery and legal tech. Kassi is a Senior Attorney at King and Spalding and is a searingly insightful voice on the evolving role of artificial intelligence in the legal industry.

Adrian and Kassi’s conversation navigates the big questions around AI tools, specifically those involving machine learning and generative AI. It’s clear that these advancements are transforming traditional e-discovery practices, but what challenges come along with them, and where must the legal industry display temperance in their implementation?

Kassi shines a spotlight on the advantages that come from using AI to streamline document review – this practice can seriously cut down the time and labor involved in sifting through massive amounts of data. And it’s a particularly important shift to recognise and grapple with too, as legal teams are being confronted with larger and larger volumes of information in litigation.

For a comprehensive look at the future of AI in the legal industry, you can’t do better than this, so tune in and keep yourself ahead of the curve.
