A primer on artificial intelligence, part 1
"AI refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think and learn like humans. AI has been around for a very long time. And you've been using it for a very long time. Spellcheck? That's AI. The predictive text on your phone? Also AI. AI even helped the Allies in World War II. These days, however, when people talk about AI, they are typically referring to two more modern and advanced forms of AI: generative AI and agentic AI."
"Generative AI involves creating new content based on existing data. This includes drafting documents, generating legal arguments or even creating marketing content. Tools such as ChatGPT4 fall into this category, where they can generate humanlike text based on prompts. Agentic AI, on the other hand, focuses on decision-making processes. It analyzes data to provide insights, make predictions or offer recommendations."
Artificial intelligence simulates human intelligence in machines programmed to think and learn like humans. AI includes long-established features such as spellcheck and predictive text as well as modern forms like generative and agentic AI. Generative AI creates new content from existing data, enabling drafting of documents, legal arguments, and marketing content. Agentic AI focuses on decision-making by analyzing data to provide insights, predictions, or recommendations and can decompose queries into parts and synthesize responses. AI can streamline legal workflows but should be applied when it is the best tool for the job rather than used indiscriminately.
