Artificial intelligence explained for lawyers: A three-dimensional framework
AI is not difficult to understand, but many people struggle to explain it, especially when conversations jump straight to headlines, products, and legal implications. This eBook provides lawyers with a clear and durable model of AI using a three-dimensional framework:
- What systems can do (capabilities)
- How they are built (tools)
- How they are deployed (applications)
After establishing this foundation, the eBook explains why generative AI creates distinct risks, including fabricated citations, confidentiality concerns, and evidentiary challenges. It also reinforces that attorney duties of competence and verification remain unchanged.
The goal is practical clarity: a framework lawyers can use as the technology, terminology, and professional responsibilities continue to evolve.
