Wired for Success: Creating a Forward Focused, Client Centric Technology Strategy
In what might be an intriguing coincidence, recent TR data saw that a rise in 2024 law firm spend took part alongside a perceived rise in innovation by clients. A similar finding noted that on average clients will spend about 35% on innovative firms given that efficiency is a top priority. As the combined benefits of artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, blockchain, and other new technologies emerge, law and tax firms have an incredible opportunity to outpace competitors by transforming their service delivery and client interactions through value creation activities driven by technology. However, to harness the full potential of these technologies, challenges of data quality, cybersecurity, talent acquisition, and client trust and confidentiality must also be considered. Join us in a session that will explore how professional services firms are approaching the potential of increased client engagement via innovative technology strategies.听

A Unified Field: Ethical Considerations amid AI Development and Deployment
Though he may not have been talking directly about artificial intelligence, Einstein鈥檚 famous quote about technology exceeding humanity may be relevant when applied to both AI development and application. Ethical implications related to bias, fairness, and transparency in algorithmic decision-making, as well as concerns around data privacy, security, and the potential for AI to exacerbate existing social and economic inequalities are all top of mind as the technology becomes more pervasive in everyday life. Given this, how can leaders embrace the potential of AI while prioritizing ethical considerations, ultimately working towards a future where AI is used to enhance the well-being and dignity of individuals and society as a whole? Join us as we consider the importance of developing and implementing organizational guidelines and frameworks for ethical AI development and deployment.
