The Law Society has given a warm welcome to the government’s ‘AI opportunities action plan’, published this week.
The plan—described by the prime minister Kier Starmer as ‘a plan to make our country an AI superpower’—sets out how the UK can invest and become a leader in artificial intelligence (AI).
Law Society president Richard Atkinson said: ‘Law firms of all sizes are already using AI to provide world-class legal services.’
Atkinson suggested appointing ‘AI sector champions’ for the legal sector to benefit members including small and medium-sized firms, and creating an ‘AI knowledge hub’ with legal best practice guidance and case studies.
