Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming industries including the legal field, offering innovative solutions for efficiency and precision — but this emerging technology also comes with its fair share of new ethics and compliance risks. Contributing to a recent InBusiness article, Partner Sam Saks shared how the firm approaches adopting AI in a responsible manner.
Sam joined experts in engineering and the arts to discuss AI integration across various professional sectors. He noted that Guidant, in particular, focuses on exploring solutions that create internal workflow efficiencies without sacrificing human integrity. From simplifying templates to quickly extracting data from spreadsheets, AI can allow the firm to work faster and smarter.
In the broader legal landscape, Sam noted numerous potential benefits of AI, including time-saving tasks like automatically summarizing pages of complex material. However, he also underscored the importance of addressing the risks AI brings, including data privacy and improper implementation.
To mitigate these potential issues, Sam recommended developing strict internal standards around input information and emphasized that this tool should serve as a starting point, rather than a final solution.
A respected member of the legal community, Sam has nearly 20 years of experience in all phases of commercial litigation and tort litigation, including discovery, motion practice, trial, mediation and appeal. Sam has successfully negotiated millions of dollars in liens and medical bills for his clients to ensure they receive the maximum value for their claims and is known for his ability to solve complex insurance disputes, including bad faith delay and denials of coverage. In addition to his legal practice, he volunteers to conduct numerous settlement conferences in civil cases.
