Evolving Legal Tech: How AI and Spatial Computing Are Redefining the Profession

Spatial computing is merging the physical and digital world in unprecedented ways, opening up new possibilities for training. For lawyers and legal professionals, this technology could allow junior lawyers to hone their skills in a risk-free environment, leading to improved real-world performance.

The legal field continues to refine its use of AI. Law firms are shifting away from large language models to smaller, more specialized models trained on limited internal data sets, often drawn from their document management systems.

The demand for IT talent remains challenging for companies, including law firms and in-house legal teams. As noted at a recent CES session, “As both traditional and generative AI capabilities grow, every phase of tech delivery could see a shift from ‘human in charge’ to ‘human in the loop.'” This evolution demands a new role and skill set for legal IT professionals.

According to Deloitte, AI empowers businesses to quickly retrieve and analyze key information about clients, costs, and revenue. Legal departments must invest in AI to maximize the value of their internal data and optimize their core business functions.
