AI Use Case Demonstrations
The conference features four actual use case demonstrations. These use cases are being implemented in the everyday practice of certain law firms. They are actual office and courtroom situations where AI is used to enhance profitability and insure productivity and efficiency gains. Each use case demonstration is followed by a panel of experts in charge of AI strategy at their firms.

Demonstration and panel discussion.
Demonstration and Use Case #2: Use of AI (Internal) for corporate document drafting and deal point extraction tasks. Our evaluation of various AI tools revealed how the user interface and application layer are crucial for generating valuable AI output.

Demonstration and Use Case #3: Use of AI (Internal) to identify most knowledgeable experts in the Firm to address a specific client problem. Replaces the long-standing practice of "ISO [In Search of]" emails with AI tool employing pertinent biographical and experienced-based information.
Demonstration and Use Case #4: Use of AI (External) to vet potential arbitrators or expert witnesses, by summarizing and categorizing their views on specific topics, looking for inconsistencies in their reports or opinions. Collaboration with client on a contract. Panel discussion.
