Artificial Intelligence and Law: What Legal Departments Need to Know

Thomson Reuters Legal Solutions published an article examining the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the legal field. It notes that generative AI (GenAI) can automate tasks such as contract analysis, legal research, and document drafting, but also carries risks—hallucinations (producing incorrect information), data biases, and confidentiality issues. Legal departments are advised to carefully verify AI outputs, ensure transparency in model usage, and develop internal policies. Thomson Reuters emphasizes that AI will not replace lawyers but can enhance their efficiency if implemented responsibly.
