If it hasn’t already, artificial intelligence (AI) might be coming to a law firm near you this year. A survey conducted by Ari Kaplan Advisors and sponsored by Seal Software shows that the use of AI inside corporate legal departments is on the rise, branching out from straight contract analysis into risk assessment and procurement/compliance matters.

Ari Kaplan, principal of Ari Kaplan Advisors, interviewed 30 legal department professionals— including leaders inside legal departments at companies like American Express, Nokia and Hewlett Packard— but his results could ultimately portend a heightened use of AI at traditional law firms as well.
