As a global content and technology company, we are deeply committed to a human-centric approach when it comes to AI. Our clients demand the highest quality work product, and we are dedicated to delivering professional-grade AI solutions powered by our proprietary data, trusted technology, and subject matter expertise.

This unique advantage means we are delivering cutting-edge solutions to enable higher quality work, faster, while reflecting the needs and expectations of how professionals work today and will in the future.

However, there is not an AI system that is entirely free from the possibility of inaccuracies.

A听recent case听was published from the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California that included sanctions for the submission of a brief containing numerous hallucinated citations. Through initial research to create the brief, a public large language model was used and the accuracy of several citations from the preliminary information were not verified.

Our investigation found no evidence that either CoCounsel or Westlaw was the source of the fabricated cases. We confirmed that Quick Check on Westlaw Precision identified all the issues with the erroneous quotes.

This case illustrates that despite the transformative capabilities of AI within the legal industry, .

At 成人VR视频, we strongly advocate for human verification of AI-generated results. That is why our customers see guidance in each of our products for a human to verify all AI generated results. And 成人VR视频 offers multiple solutions including Quick Check on both Westlaw Edge and Westlaw Precision, KeyCite, amongst others, to help verify information.

成人VR视频 is committed to building responsible AI solutions that legal professionals can rely on while respecting the irreplaceable qualities humans bring to the table: judgment, empathy, and understanding of human nuance. This human-centric approach to AI isn’t just good practice 鈥 it’s essential for maintaining the integrity of legal work.

Raghu Ramanathan: Reflections on Legal Generative AI One Year In /en-us/posts/innovation/raghu-ramanathan-reflections-on-legal-generative-ai-one-year-in/ Mon, 30 Dec 2024 09:02:06 +0000 https://blogs.thomsonreuters.com/en-us/?post_type=innovation_post&p=64271 I recently talked with 鈥 Ben Joyner about generative AI in the legal space, touching on everything from our company鈥檚 M&A strategy to how CoCounsel is transitioning to a multi-model product. Talking with Ben about how generative AI has shaped our industry over the past year has me reflecting on my first year with 成人VR视频.

Raghu Ramanathan, president, Legal Professionals, 成人VR视频.

Continued climb in law firm productivity

I joined 成人VR视频 in February, and a notable way we鈥檝e seen the impact of generative AI solutions is the uptick in lawyer productivity. For the first time in years, Q2 saw a majority of law firms experience productivity growth. By Q3, an astounding 64% of law firms reported productivity growth, building on the gains made in Q2.听

This uptick underscores how technology is key to boosting law firm profitability. Law firms that invest in new technology as well as adopt AI and generative AI solutions to streamline workflows and improve the efficiency and quality of their work are best positioned to improve client satisfaction and drive sustainable productivity growth.

Build, buy, partner strategy

I鈥檓 pleased with the progress 成人VR视频 has made on our vision to provide all the legal professionals we serve with a professional-grade GenAI assistant to augment their work. We鈥檝e committed to investing $100 million annually in AI over the coming years, including investing more than $200 million to incorporate responsible AI into our solutionsin the past year alone.听

This year we continued investing in the latest technology through our build, buy, partner program. On the buy side in the legal space, our acquisition of Safe Sign Technologies 鈥 a UK legal large language model (LLM) startup 鈥 in August is proving a great fit. We鈥檙e incorporating Safe Sign鈥檚 tech and talent into our industry-leading content and expertise to bring customers even greater quality and performance from our AI solutions.鈥

On the build side, we introduced 19 legal generative AI solutions in 2024. Highlights include CoCounsel 2.0, the professional-grade GenAI assistant; Claims Explorer, a generative AI skill available in鈥; CoCounsel Drafting, an end-to-end drafting solution that streamlines and improves the drafting process for legal professionals within Microsoft Word; and Mischaracterization Identification in Quick Check and AI Jurisdictional Surveys 鈥 two generative AI research features that help customers save substantial time and deliver greater confidence that legal research is accurate, thorough, and complete. We also delivered deeper integration of CoCounsel into Westlaw and Practical Law.

On the partner side, we鈥檙e working with Microsoft, OpenAI, Google and others on plugins and integrations to enhance the generative AI-powered capabilities in our solutions.鈥疎very aspect of our build, buy, partner strategy is geared toward helping our customers automate their workflows, provide powerful insights to their clients and drive efficiencies.鈥

A maturing market听

2024 saw the implementation of legal generative AI solutions as well as efforts to benchmark these solutions. Our benchmarking support is reflected in our participation in studies including Vals.ai plus two consortium efforts 鈥 from Stanford and Litig 鈥 exploring how to best evaluate legal AI.听

I believe that benchmarking can improve both the development and the adoption of AI, but it鈥檚 just鈥痮ne component in how we consider and understand the benefits AI delivers for our customers.鈥疘 look forward to our ongoing collaboration with customers and industry partners as we continue working to minimize inaccuracies and increase the usefulness of the research outcomes for generative AI solutions.

To date, 15% of law firms have adopted and implemented legal-specific generative AI solutions. I anticipate we鈥檒l soon see a wave of fast followers 鈥 eager to be perceived as innovative 鈥 that will dramatically strengthen generative AI implementation.

I can鈥檛 think of a more exciting time to have joined a business. Where our industry is at now mirrors the early internet era: initial excitement, followed by strategic integration.听

We鈥檙e fast approaching a maturing market where legal professionals will not just desire but require AI capabilities for their workflows. We鈥檒l see more implementation of generative AI solutions among legal professionals as they increasingly realize the tangible benefits.

For more on how generative AI is shaping the future of the legal profession, please check out my interview.听

Deeper Integration of CoCounsel 2.0 in Westlaw and Practical Law Plus New Westlaw Features: What Customers Are Saying /en-us/posts/innovation/deeper-integration-of-cocounsel-2-0-in-westlaw-and-practical-law-plus-new-westlaw-features-what-customers-are-saying/ Wed, 16 Oct 2024 14:24:04 +0000 https://blogs.thomsonreuters.com/en-us/?post_type=innovation_post&p=63516 Deeper integration of CoCounsel into Westlaw and Practical Law 鈥 plus two new features in Westlaw 鈥 are building on the company鈥檚 vision to deliver a comprehensive GenAI assistant for every professional it serves.

Customers will experience a more seamless workflow within CoCounsel 2.0, the professional-grade GenAI assistant, across legal research products, including CoCounsel Core. The deeper integrations, available in late October, will further a user-centric experience throughout the 成人VR视频 legal solutions portfolio and improve ease of use.

The deeper integrations will improve ease of use in two ways:

  • The full CoCounsel AI assistant will be available in the user interface of Westlaw and Practical Law, enabling users to be able to use CoCounsel Core skills seamlessly.
  • Users will soon be able to create an on-page analysis of Westlaw and Practical Law content with CoCounsel.

In addition, two new GenAI research features 鈥 Mischaracterization Identification and AI Jurisdictional Surveys 鈥 will help customers save substantial time and deliver greater confidence that legal research is accurate, thorough, and complete.

Mischaracterization Identification and AI Jurisdictional Surveys

Mischaracterization Identification is a new generative AI capability to help detect mischaracterizations and omissions in legal briefs. Customers can upload a brief to Westlaw Precision with CoCounsel and see where opposing counsel has mischaracterized the law, and judges using this feature will be able to see where all litigants may have mischaracterized the law in their filings.

鈥淚 often find that opposing counsel has miscited or overstated case authority, and when that happens, we can use it to great advantage with the court.鈥疶his tool would save tons of time in finding those opportunities,鈥 said Scott Matney, general counsel, FPS Inc.

鈥淭his enhancement [Mischaracterization Identification] is one of the most innovative legal tools available,鈥 said Susan Verbonitz, partner, Weir Greenblatt Pierce. 鈥淚t not only reduces time spent on the rinse-and-repeat task associated with human research, but it also identifies potential weaknesses in opponent鈥檚 arguments.鈥

AI Jurisdictional Surveys on Westlaw Precision with CoCounsel is a generative AI skill that enables customers to do 50-state-survey research much faster than with traditional methods, saving hours of time. It provides relevant statute language for legal questions for each jurisdiction selected for federal and state jurisdictions and U.S. territories.

鈥淭ime is valuable and there is never enough of it,鈥 Verbonitz said. 鈥淎I Jurisdictional Surveys and the new mischaracterizations enhancement expand our research capabilities while also saving us time and reducing cost.鈥

CoCounsel 2.0 Launch: Legal Industry Reactions /en-us/posts/innovation/cocounsel-2-0-launch-legal-industry-reactions/ Mon, 19 Aug 2024 16:54:50 +0000 https://blogs.thomsonreuters.com/en-us/?post_type=innovation_post&p=62692 Notable moments included the launch of CoCounsel 2.0 and a celebration of the one-year anniversary of Casetext joining 成人VR视频. Below are takeaways from legal industry journalists and influencers on the 成人VR视频 milestones.

鈥淚t seems like just last year we were talking about CoCounsel 1.0, the generative AI product launched by Casetext and then swiftly acquired by 成人VR视频,鈥 Joe Patrice said in . 鈥淭hat鈥檚 because it was just last year. Since then, 成人VR视频 has worked to marry Casetext鈥檚 tool with TR鈥檚 treasure trove of data.鈥

Patrice noted CoCounsel 2.0 draws on 鈥渢he experience gained over the last year and a m茅lange of multiple LLMs under the hood鈥 and includes Claims Explorer 鈥 an AI skill in Westlaw Precision 鈥 plus CoCounsel Drafting.

In , Isha Marathe highlighted CoCounsel 2.0 as 鈥渁 much faster, more polished chatbot鈥 that offers more personalization.

鈥湷扇薞R视频鈥 CoCounsel 2.0, which has a ChatGPT-like interface, now also connects with the user鈥檚 DMS to offer a more integrated, personal experience,鈥 Marathe said. 鈥淎dditionally, usernames, passwords and other log-in keys will also be standardized across various 成人VR视频 applications, explained Jake Heller, CEO and co-founder of Casetext, part of 成人VR视频.鈥

Marathe added: 鈥淓ssentially, this brings CoCounsel 鈥榦n the same infrastructure鈥 as the user鈥檚 Westlaw and 成人VR视频 applications, Heller said, creating a user-centric experience as opposed to a fragmented one.鈥

Richard Tromans David Wong, chief product officer, 成人VR视频, made during his ILTACON presentation on CoCounsel 2.0 about the strength of 成人VR视频 data.

鈥淒avid Wong, CPO, said that 鈥榯his is the most meaningful work I have done at 成人VR视频,鈥欌 Tromans noted. 鈥淗e then stressed the fact that they have all the three main food groups when it comes to AI tool development:听鈥榃e have the data, the expertise, and the tech. Few have all three in such quantity and depth.鈥 And that鈥檚 a key point. If you look at some of the challengers out there, there are few that have all of that lovely, rich data.鈥

Tromans added. 鈥溾 Wong is right, having genAI skills and having a smart team is great, but a ton of authoritative legal data is the cherry on the cake if you want to offer a really broad genAI platform.鈥

成人VR视频 Takeaways from AALL: 鈥淎 significant focus on the practical application and optimization of generative AI鈥 /en-us/posts/innovation/thomson-reuters-takeaways-from-aall-a-significant-focus-on-the-practical-application-and-optimization-of-generative-ai/ Thu, 25 Jul 2024 10:27:28 +0000 https://blogs.thomsonreuters.com/en-us/?post_type=innovation_post&p=62366 成人VR视频 employees who at the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) in Chicago are sharing their takeaways from the event.

鈥淭here was a significant focus on the practical application and optimization of generative AI,鈥 said Valerie McConnell, senior director, CoCounsel, 成人VR视频. 鈥淎ALL attendees wanted to learn how to use AI tools in the most effective ways possible. They were looking for strategies to integrate generative AI seamlessly into their workflows. This shift in dialogue reflects a growing maturity in the adoption of AI, highlighting a readiness to leverage these technologies to their fullest potential.鈥

Rachel Beithon, senior product manager, Westlaw AI & Analytics, 成人VR视频, also noticed attendees鈥 heightened interest in AI tools.

“I was a little concerned that after the last 18 months of near-constant AI discussion in the legal industry that there might be some fatigue setting in,鈥 Beithon said. 鈥淏ut people were so eager to talk more about generative AI solutions.鈥

Claims Explorer, the new generative AI skill in that launched during AALL, was among the solutions sparking conversations with attendees.

鈥淭hey were absolutely thrilled with Claims Explorer and its use cases,鈥 Beithon said. 鈥淚t was obvious how much time this would save when doing the often-arduous task of exploring potential claims.鈥

CoCounsel was also generating buzz.

鈥淥ne of the most frequent topics of discussion during our CoCounsel sessions concerned our integrations with Microsoft products and document management systems,鈥 McConnell said. 鈥淭here seems to be a strong interest in using generative AI seamlessly across multiple platforms and systems. Attendees recognized the potential efficiency and productivity gains from having CoCounsel work with the tools they already use daily.鈥

Generative AI enabling small-scale innovation

The law librarian community鈥檚 readiness to implement generative AI stood out to Zach Warren, manager, Enterprise Content, 成人VR视频 Institute.

鈥淚鈥檓 intrigued by how much courts and government legal departments will play into this tech-enabled future,鈥 Warren said. 鈥淚 saw one presentation given by Judge Keven O鈥橤rady of Kansas where he explained how his court built a 鈥榯riage鈥 tool, helping categorize his family law docket into different pathways based on how much attention different litigants need. It鈥檚 this sort of small investment that can pay huge dividends, and particularly with GenAI allowing for more small-scale innovation, I鈥檓 excited to see what courts and government come up with to do more with less in the coming years.鈥

Empowering the next generation of legal professionals

Beithon and McConnell were pleased with the feedback on their Day 2 session, 鈥淪ummoning the Magic Words: Crafting Prompts to be an AI Wizard.鈥

鈥淲e both heard over and over throughout the conference how valuable that session was and how much more excited attendees were to try out prompting techniques in the Westlaw and CoCounsel Core AI skills, and to teach those to other users at their organization,鈥 Beithon said.

鈥淎ttendees were not just interested in refining their own skills but were also focused on how to empower the next generation of legal professionals,鈥 McConnell added. 鈥淭here was a strong emphasis on teaching law students, associates, and new lawyers the art of prompting. This proactive approach to education and training recognizes the importance of ensuring that everyone in the legal field can harness the full capabilities of generative AI.鈥

Warren agreed, noting AALL鈥檚 optimistic tone.

鈥淭his year鈥檚 conference was shaped with optimism about the role law librarians can play as shepherds of this new paradigm rather than simply impacted by it,鈥 Warren said. 鈥淭his change comes as no surprise to me, as the 成人VR视频 Institute has noted that librarian and research positions are beginning to increase at law firms, reversing a long-standing trend. The crucial role law librarians play has been noted, both anecdotally and in dollars and cents, and law librarians know that now is the time to make their influence felt.鈥

Checkpoint Edge with CoCounsel: What Customers Are Saying /en-us/posts/innovation/checkpoint-edge-with-cocounsel-what-customers-are-saying/ Tue, 23 Jul 2024 09:41:52 +0000 https://blogs.thomsonreuters.com/en-us/?post_type=innovation_post&p=62332 After a successful customer beta program, 成人VR视频 launched this week. The enhanced solution features a new AI-Assisted Research skill to help tax professionals get trusted answers to complex tax research questions using CoCounsel, the professional-grade GenAI assistant from 成人VR视频.

Now generally available in the United States, Checkpoint Edge with CoCounsel helps tax firms leverage the transformative capabilities of GenAI by using large language models (LLMs) to provide an intuitive interface for tax professionals to pose questions to in everyday language.

Two thirds of customers that took part in the beta program expected Checkpoint Edge with CoCounsel to become their primary method for starting federal tax research upon launch.

鈥淐heckpoint Edge with CoCounsel is an innovative tool that allows the use of a question to get a specific response, plus it provides citations without having to search multiple responses to find an answer to a query,鈥 said Gary Brown, owner and principal at Gary Brown CPA, who was among the customers that took part in the beta program. 鈥淭his saves significant time by providing a focused response versus a list of multiple responses that need to be sorted through to find the desired result, providing significant time savings for research.鈥

鈥淭rying to read an entire document for up to 30 minutes and trying to really understand those very minute differences and paragraphs and sub-paragraphs, Checkpoint Edge with CoCounsel will now give us the opportunity to receive this answer in a more simplified and relatable format where we can read it and understand it, see the citations as we need, and provide that answer to a client or internally to our own staff,鈥 said Brent Forbush, managing partner, Forbush & Associates.

Checkpoint Edge with CoCounsel is the latest milestone in the 成人VR视频 expanded vision for CoCounsel 鈥 the professional-grade GenAI assistant 鈥 to enable professionals to seamlessly complete complicated work involving multiple products through a single generative AI assistant. The launch follows last week鈥檚 rollouts of Claims Explorer, a new generative AI skill in Westlaw Precision with CoCounsel, and CoCounsel Drafting, an end-to-end drafting solution that streamlines and improves the drafting process for legal professionals within Microsoft Word.

Two years of unprecedented progress 鈥 Law firms deriving tangible value from 成人VR视频 AI /en-us/posts/innovation/two-years-of-unprecedented-progress-law-firms-deriving-tangible-value-from-thomson-reuters-ai/ Tue, 02 Jul 2024 16:32:06 +0000 https://blogs.thomsonreuters.com/en-us/?post_type=innovation_post&p=63507 As we approach the two-year mark since we launched听Westlaw Precision, the industry has seen unprecedented development 鈥 in many ways instigated by the launch of Chat GPT in November 2022, customers and software developers alike never experienced such exponential opportunity (and some would argue risk).

And here at 成人VR视频 鈥 we haven鈥檛 stood still; in fact, we have never moved faster!

Within this 24-month period Professionals no longer need to speculate how AI听could听affect their work because they now have a better sense of how it听will 鈥斕and in some cases already听is.

And for our customers in November 2023, we launched听AI-Assisted Research听鈥 which allows customers to ask complex legal research questions in natural language and quickly receive synthesized answers, with links to supporting authority from Westlaw content and links to further examine that authority. AI-Assisted Research streamlines the initial phase of legal research with sophisticated answers to questions and the authority those answers are based on, saving hours of work. In fact, this is how one of our valued customers describes the solution:

鈥淏ecause 成人VR视频 has the best case law database, lawyers can feel confident that the answer AI-Assisted Research is generating in response to our questions is well supported.听 The fact that the AI-Assisted Research delivers all the resources it relied upon in coming up the answer, right beneath the answer, amplifies the confidence we all can have in using the program to help with our research needs.鈥听Andrew Bedigian, Larson LLP

And since launch 6k customers have run more than 1.5M searches through AI-Assisted Research. 成人VR视频 closed loop LLM is trained on millions of terabytes of our trusted and verified content 鈥 rather than publicly available information 鈥 and this generates the most trusted and reliable answer on the market today.

鈥淚 did go through and compare the ChatGPT paid version as compared to this AI-Assisted Research. What I can tell you is there is a major difference in the libraries that Westlaw has versus any other program. There is no other program that has the secondary sources, the court orders, the appellate documents, the primary sources 鈥 every single thing that Westlaw offers, which is not only on point and published, you have the citations, there鈥檚 a source of truth from where the information comes from and it鈥檚 only as good as the prompts you give it and the parameters you put.鈥听Jesse Guth, owner, Guth Law Office

Our customers tell us each day what a critical tool AI assisted Research is for their legal research both to those new to the profession and those that are experienced in the field. By design our intuitive user experience guides customers to run follow-up research 鈥 AI Assisted Research provides customers with a comprehensive answer which can be easily interrogated, linking to more sources for validation.

At Blank Rome, we are committed to providing the highest levels of innovative client service. As part of this effort, last year we were excited to implement Westlaw Precision and Practical Law Dynamic AI capabilities for our attorneys, which has resulted in increased efficiencies and enhanced results.鈥听 Frank Spadafino, chief information officer, Blank Rome

Over the years 成人VR视频 has always been at the forefront of legal research innovation, helping customers to reduce research times and ensure nothing important is missed. AI-Assisted Research is among the very best of these tools, and when it鈥檚 used as intended, it offers enormous benefits with very little risk of harm. I strongly encourage you to try it yourself 鈥 you will find it鈥檚 a powerful research tool you鈥檒l want to employ regularly in your research processes.
