65 I L T A N E T . O R G weather the inevitable shakeout. An organization's investment in Gen AI point solutions, including building workflows and processes around them and training employees to use them, might one day be disrupted if one or more point solutions are acquired. • The role of the attorney: As Gen AI advances over time, the role of the attorney will naturally evolve. Gen AI will transform legal work, not replace it, and attorneys will benefit from productivity gains in essential ways. Ultimately, Gen AI will enable attorneys to spend more of their time on higher- value work. Undoubtedly, the efficiency and productivity benefits of Gen AI have captivated the imaginations of the legal industry. The industry has shown a great and rapid willingness to embrace Gen AI. A recent international survey showed that nearly all attorneys (92%) believe Gen AI will impact the legal profession, with 47% believing it will have a transformative effect, and 43% either currently using or plan to use generative AI in their legal work. As we continue to push the boundaries of Gen AI and LLM capabilities, the industry will experience a flood of new solutions that address many of the key pain points experienced by practicing attorneys – but also create new challenges for their organizations that must be addressed. As always, cost will be a crucial factor that determines whether or when organizations adopt Gen AI and which solutions they choose. However, forward-looking decision- makers who remember past technology hype-cycles will look beyond cost and factor in broader criteria such as seamless application and data integrations; enhanced efficiency and productivity; increased privacy, security, and compliance; improved workflow and globalization capabilities; easy future upgrades and roadmap planning; and more. All these criteria converge toward a single, secure, interconnected Gen AI platform that can support multiple use cases and evolve to meet our industry's changing needs and rapid technological innovation.
