"Nearly nine out of 10 legal professionals say they use AI in some capacity ..."

Eh?

"... according to a survey for a legal tech company"

Oh. Right.

If it is important that your lawyer uses "AI", I'm afraid that I am not the lawyer for you.

AI is mainstream in law - but clients are not told

Despite the pace of adoption, only 27% of firms have fully embedded the technology, survey shows.

@neil I think that is quite a complicated question and depends how you define AI - using an LLM to write a contract? I'd want to know (and avoid).
Using a Co-pilot suggested reply email of "sure, that time works for me" or using a spell check that was using an LLM (I think Grammarly's spell check is AI now) ? Not so much. I wouldn't necessarily expect a lawyer who specialised in conveyancing to know all the situations where they might be using AI.

@neil I'm afraid that's as nuanced as I get here!
