    • Attorneys' Reaction to AI: Generally, there's distrust and skepticism among attorneys towards AI, stemming from fears of job loss, inaccuracy, and potential legal sanctions.
    • Evolution of AI in the Legal Industry: AI has been present in the legal industry for decades, evolving from predictive coding (TAR 1) to more advanced iterations (TAR 2). However, there's still a lack of trust in AI's capabilities and outcomes.
    • Generative AI: Misconceptions around AI and what LLMs like ChatGPT are doing in the legal world. 
    • Client Education on AI: With common misconceptions that AI can automate tasks like document review, educating clients about AI's realistic capabilities and limitations is essential. AI is a tool to aid human judgment, not replace it.
    • Concerns about AI: Issues like bias in AI algorithms and datasets and the potential for misuse (e.g., generating false legal citations) are major concerns.
    • AI's Role in Creativity and Research: AI is being explored for creative tasks like marketing and research but with caution due to potential inaccuracies.
    • Future of AI in the Legal Industry: AI continues to evolve and become more integrated into legal workflows, especially in data culling and search. However, there's an emphasis on AI augmenting human capabilities, not replacing them.
