Chief Knowledge & Innovation Officer Shares AI Legal Tech Prediction for 2025

Evan Shenkman shares this AI legal tech prediction with The National Law Review:

2025 Prediction: By late 2025 we will see the greatest AI value from powerful GenAI tools that don't require user-provided prompts but which offer powerful, real-time assistance to attorneys, nonetheless. Think about tools that can listen in on depositions, trials, or client intake meetings, and provide the attorney -- in real-time -- with AI-powered guidance and assistance (issue spotting, identifying inconsistencies or falsehoods, etc.) based on the tool's prior review and analysis of the entire case file. Or tools that can continually review the case docket, and then unilaterally alert the attorney of what just happened, what now needs to be done, and include GenAI-created proposed drafts based on prior firm samples. These tools are already in the works, and will be mainstream soon enough.

Biggest Surprise 2025: Litigation funding will grow significantly in 2025, lured by GenAI's promise of more powerful and accurate case valuation and assessment models than ever before. This will bring about an unexpected increase in new case filings, more protracted lawsuits, and greater judicial backlogs.
