While artificial intelligence is an often-misunderstood concept, it’s already widely used in areas like retail sales and online advertising and making inroads in the law.
In a recent Non-Eventcast, host Jared Correia talks with Nathan Wenzel of SimpleLegal and Alex Smith of iManage to nail down just what “artificial intelligence” refers to, specific ways it’s being used, and what lawyers should be doing now to capitalize.

While the working definitions of “artificial intelligence,” “machine learning,” and their surrounding concepts can be squishy at times, there’s no doubt that AI has arrived in the law in concrete ways already streamlining some of the industry’s’ most mundane tasks.
In this edition of the Non-Eventcast, host Jared Correia talks with Nathan Wenzel of SimpleLegal and Alex Smith of iManage to nail down just what “artificial intelligence” refers to, specific ways it’s being used in the law, and what lawyers should be doing now to capitalize.

Ed. note: This is the inaugural installment of The Legal Tech-to-English Dictionary, part of our Non-Event for Tech-Perplexed Lawyers. Jared Correia is the host of the Non-Eventcast.
There’s a term for when attorneys use Latin and other arcane languages to describe legal processes to consumers: “legalese.”
But there’s no similar term for when vendors use technical and other arcane languages to describe their legal software operations to lawyers.

While Jerry notes the lines between the phases can be “blurry,” you are likely in the tactical stage if you have organized your documents and are just starting to figure out how to optimize related processes.
“Tactical is kind of that midpoint, where you’re trying to get out of the operational stage of just knowing where your contracts are, but you’re not quite at the stage of doing deep analysis, or deep extraction,” Jerry says.
