[Abstract] "The application of AI to the legal sector requires a combination of experience in the field, in annotated content and technical expertise: you cannot simply throw AI into legal data and expect good results." For this reason, I believe that "the more lawyers know how AI effectively works, the more comfortable they will feel about it. It is important to understand how artificial intelligence algorithms use data and what its consequences may be on the performance of an artificial intelligence system. People are afraid of what they don't understand, so it's important that they take the time to get to know the big picture of AI and how it applies to the legal."
For an AI model to behave in a way that is useful to lawyers, we must train it with data that makes sense and is valuable to lawyers. We need to tell the model what part of the data is important to the behavior we're trying to mimic: it takes experience and mastery of the subject matter to understand which parts of the data should be trusted and which parts should be ignored to make a decision."
