Morgan Lewis chair Jami McKeon says AI mastery will differentiate law firms [Philadelphia Business Journal Quotes Gina Rubel]
As artificial intelligence continues to transform the business landscape, Morgan Lewis & Bockius chair Jami McKeon is working to ensure her firm stays ahead of the curve. As reported by Jeff Blumenthal in a recent article in the Philadelphia Business Journal, Morgan Lewis has partnered with Thomson Reuters on a new AI initiative. This partnership allows the firm’s attorneys to test new technology, provide feedback, and receive training.
McKeon notes that AI is not likely to replace legal talent, as long as a firm’s attorneys understand how to use AI tools effectively.
