Good Governance Principles for Law Firms Using Artificial Intelligence

Aija Lejniece offers a clear and practical roadmap for law firms to effectively manage the growing role of AI in their operations. She not only outlines how firms should structure this integration but also introduces nine concrete AI governance principles for firms to adhere to. Aija places these principles in the context of current regulatory frameworks and explicitly references this backdrop, providing a strong foundation for responsible AI use and countering the dystopian concerns some have raised – with a nod to Asimov’s laws. She further examines how existing ethical standards address the professional use of AI by lawyers, offering thoughtful insights into the ethical challenges involved. Her proposals for good governance are both practical and actionable, grounded in the latest developments and regulatory initiatives.
