In this episode, hosts Sam Mollaei and Neil Tyra dive into the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in the legal industry, presenting both challenges and opportunities for lawyers and law firms.
They discuss insights from major AI conferences and announcements, emphasizing the exponential impact and importance of embracing AI advancements.
Key Takeaways from Sam and Neil:
From the Singularity AI Conference:
- Understanding Moore’s Law’s exponential growth in computing power and Wright’s Law’s cost reduction with production can help lawyers predict technological advancements and plan for AI integration in legal practices.
- Ray Kurzweil’s Law of Accelerating Returns predicts exponential technological progress, urging lawyers to anticipate rapid AI advancements for improved legal research, contract analysis, and case predictions.
- In the AI era, data is invaluable for predictive analytics and legal trend identification, enabling lawyers to gain a competitive edge by leveraging high-quality data for more accurate and efficient client services.
OpenAI – GPT-4o:
- OpenAI’s GPT-4o, announced on May 13, 2024, offers GPT-4-level intelligence with faster performance and enhanced capabilities across text, voice, and vision, improving user interactions and real-time voice conversations.
- GPT-4o is twice as fast, 50% cheaper, and provides five times higher rate limits compared to GPT-4 Turbo, making it a superior and more economical AI model.
- GPT-4o is being rolled out to most paid users, with a free version starting this week, featuring new image upload capabilities, improved web browsing, and a code interpreter, while voice input still uses the old Whisper, and Mac and Phone apps are pending release.
Google’s AI Release:
- Announced at Google I/O 2024, Gemini 1.5 Pro is an advanced multimodal AI model with a context window of up to one million tokens, capable of processing text, images, and videos, with plans to expand to two million tokens for developers soon.
- Google introduced Ask Photos, allowing users to ask complex questions about their photo library for detailed information, and Veo, a video generation tool that creates high-quality videos from text prompts, both set to enhance user experiences across Google services.
- Google’s generative AI enhancements in search provide more comprehensive and contextually relevant results, including video-based searches and improved AI overviews, as part of 44 new AI tools and updates aimed at deeper AI integration into its products.
”One of the other things I understood about this new version (of ChatGPT) is that it very much strengthened the visual analysis.” — Neil Tyra
