Chief Innovation Officer Andrew Sprogis and Senior Innovation and Data Science Manager Matthew Dunne recently appeared on the Legal Innovation Spotlight podcast to discuss various topics including data science, different forms of artificial intelligence (AI) such as generative AI (Gen AI), what separates innovation from knowledge management and how to innovate with technology successfully.
Andrew explained that how attorneys and legal professionals utilize Gen AI may depend on where they are in their careers. "One of the challenges with the innovation space in general, and I think it's going to be this way for Gen AI, is that different people at different arcs of their careers are going to have different motivations to do things," he said.
In addition to the technical aspects, Matthew noted that focusing on the human aspects may be even more important. "There's no secret sauce. People are trying to find that secret sauce by virtue of creating what they see as a new piece of tech," Matthew said. "It's the interaction of the technology, plus the people and process parts that lead to the ultimate outcome. I would say focus your secret sauce efforts on the people and process parts rather than the technology part."
