LEGAL TECH TREND 1
Recruitment Will Increasingly Focus on AI Abilities and Knowledge The rise of AI is prompting businesses to rethink how they hire and manage talent and in some cases is leading to changes in organisational structures. Traditional positions are being redefined to incorporate tech-based competencies and creating new roles focussed on AI capabilities. Teams are becoming more agile and innovation-minded as organisations prioritise internal expertise and readiness for AI adoption. This shift includes creating many new AI-focussed roles, like AI Ethics Officers and Generative AI Specialists. Ed Sohn, Global Head of Insights and Innovation at Factor, while speaking at the 2024 Inspire conference, explained it this way: “The thing that people love to say is that lawyers with AI are going to replace lawyers without AI. It’s not that AI is going to replace a lawyer’s job, but I think when people say that [they mean] the future of legal practice is going to include AI, …be ready with a job description. You actually need to start writing the future role of the lawyer, the future competencies of the lawyer.”
