There's been a notable vibe shift around artificial intelligence in the legal industry as firms and corporate legal departments push for widespread adoption of AI tools, according to a new Law360 Pulse survey.
Attorneys are using AI more often, with double-digit growth in use from last year's survey for tasks like legal research, document summary, document creation and correspondence. Another indication of AI fever: A majority of survey respondents received AI training.
However, frequent users who work at firms now feel more neutral about AI, with 44% saying they see both the pros and cons of AI adoption in the legal industry. That's in sharp contrast to the findings from last year's survey where 73% of firm lawyers who used AI three or more times a week held a positive view of the technology.
