There’s a lot happening that has profound implications. And it’s also an opportunity for growth if the moment is seized. If not, we might be looking at a future not unlike what occurred during the Napster period. There’s a chance to use these tools in a fun but equitable way.

As AI algorithms analyses vast amounts of existing art and data, there is a risk that artistic creations might become formulaic and predictable, imitating popular styles and trends rather than pushing the boundaries of originality.

Even within clinical medicine, there's a huge emerging body of literature on how much these AI algorithms know about medicine—we still don't know how that translates to outcomes.

History tells us major changes in technological paradigms are often followed by periods of disruption, typified by economic growth and net job creation—an idea at odds with current concerns about job destruction in the wake of generative AI.

Despite the hype surrounding generative AI, we aren’t heading towards a ‘rise of the machine’ scenario in legal. There are many issues to iron out – from hallucinations and security to ethics, data management, and regulation – which means that human intellect is very much indispensable.
