5 I L T A N E T . O R G When discussing technology successes - and even more so technology failures - it is often more comfortable being open in a one-to-one or small group setting where recording and AI notetaking are not present. This applies even more to security conversations, notably those concerning breaches or ransomware. In-person conversations almost always speed trust between and among people. When someone trusts you, they will tell you more than they would otherwise. A roadmap for success is incredibly valuable. A map showing every detour, pothole, and damaged bridge can be even more valuable. What is your short-term hope for the legal community when it comes to legal technology practices, and what does the future look like? JOY: My short-term hope is that the community as a whole accepts the fact that technology is an ecosystem, rather than a series of silo-ed products. The "connective tissue" for legal tech systems must be respected and taken into account as tech moves forward. As noted earlier, this requires transparent conversations and a recognition that we are all learning. The future looks surprisingly like the past in that lawyers will provide high quality legal advice to clients - whether internal or external - and that they will use technology to provide that advice more quickly and with even higher quality. What will likely look different is the mix of human intelligence and effort and technology. What will almost certainly look different is what we pay for both the advice and the technology.
