AI in legal BD: Hype, hope, and the human element

Artificial intelligence is everywhere, but how can you separate meaningful innovation from noise? Join Christy Cáceres, CMBDO at Sheppard Mullin, Lindsay Vest, Director of BD Training & Client Relations at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, and Lynne Kilgore, Associate Director of Competitive Intelligence, Data Science and Analytics at Baker Botts, for a discussion on what legal AI use cases are working (and what's not).

They'll discuss:

• Hype vs. reality: Are these tools delivering real value, or just shiny distractions?
• How to balance innovation with productivity
• How to maintain authenticity while leveraging automation
• What long-term means in AI, and how to de-risk decisions when resources are limited

Whether your firm is well into its AI journey or still working out where to start, this discussion offers practical ideas you can take back to your team.
