Artificial intelligence platform Alexi is launching a new suite of tools for legal document generation and analysis this week \u2013 the latest addition to what the company hopes will eventually become a comprehensive toolbox for litigators, Alexi CEO Mark Doble told Canadian Lawyer on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of the documents that you can think of that are generated or analyzed in the course of litigation \u2013 there will be some functionality for us to help,\u201d Doble says, adding that\u00a0the company plans to roll out several additional features over the coming year. \u201cWe want to build functionality for every single use case that a litigator might encounter, substantively and procedurally.\u201d<\/p>\n

The announcement comes amid recent reports that many in the legal profession remain hesitant<\/a> about incorporating generative AI into their practices. Some law firm leaders also expressed concerns that getting\u00a0buy-in from lawyers<\/a> could be a challenge to adopting AI tools.<\/p>\n

But Doble thinks the industry is ready.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are several concerns that emerged right after ChatGPT was launched,\u201d he says, pointing to the discourse around generative AI\u2019s impact on\u00a0the education of future lawyers, security and privacy, and the frequency of so-called hallucinations \u2013 the misleading or outright false information produced by generative AI platforms that can look beguilingly accurate.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think across all of these dimensions, we’re in a totally different spot now than we were almost two years ago now, when ChatGPT first came out,\u201d Doble says. \u201cOur observations now are that\u2026 people are learning more, learning faster, and becoming better lawyers way quicker because of tools like this.\u201d<\/p>\n

He says best practices around security, privacy, and accuracy have also evolved. Doble notes that Alexi does not train AI models on sensitive, confidential information and fully encrypts data both at rest and in motion.<\/p>\n

Among the new features Alexi is launching this week are tools that will allow lawyers to upload legal documents and generate a summary; track their litigation timelines with all their case documents and activities all located in one place; organize their litigation files; and access an AI conversational assistant to answer routine and complex legal questions across several jurisdictions.<\/p>\n

The goal is to help lawyers with \u201cthe two big parts of litigation: understanding what the law is and understanding what the evidence is,\u201d Doble says. The conversational assistant tool approaches questions using retrieval-augmented generation \u2013 a technique that combines the capabilities of traditional information retrieval systems (like databases and searches) with those of generative large language models.<\/p>\n

If a family lawyer handling a divorce asks the conversational model how to \u201cimpute income to a spouse to get fair spousal support and child support,\u201d for example, the tool can identify relevant case law and legislation and assess the factors involved in the case, Doble says. The tool could then help the lawyer identify what documents they need to gather and uncover novel arguments they can make.<\/p>\n

In the coming months, Alexi will continue to roll out new features, including a tool for generating pleadings.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you’re submitting AI-drafted documents directly to court, hopefully, they’ve at least been reviewed by human lawyers, of course. But is this going to increase or decrease the number of errors or inaccuracies submitted into court?\u201d Doble says.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we’re seeing is that the ability for lawyers now to reduce the number of errors is significant, and as long as lawyers are still reviewing the work products drafted by AI in the same way they’d be reviewing work products drafted by a student or a junior associate, the capabilities of the technology are so great that overall, we’re going to see a significant reduction in errors by lawyers across the board,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
