A recent study commissioned by Relativity reveals a significant rise in generative AI adoption within the legal sector. The IDC InfoBrief, Generative AI in Legal 2024, highlights that 69% of legal professionals anticipate increased use of generative AI for legal tasks over the next two years. The study surveyed a diverse group of legal professionals across multiple countries, uncovering trends and motivations behind this technological shift.
The primary reasons for adopting generative AI include automating basic tasks and achieving cost savings, with 58% of respondents citing automation as a key benefit. Despite the enthusiasm for AI, concerns about data privacy and the potential loss of sensitive information remain prevalent among legal teams. The findings suggest that while generative AI will enhance efficiency, it will not replace human legal professionals in the near future.
