Alex Ustych recently took part in a new episode of the GetBriefed podcast hosted by Orlagh Kelly to talk about the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on the legal profession, particularly at the Bar.

Alex, who is one of our Information Law experts, has long been interested in emerging technologies and the development of AI, even before it started to become so prominent.

In this episode of the podcast, Alex shares both his personal insight and professional perspective on key issues surrounding AI at the Bar, including:

  • How barristers should engage with AI tools in practice
  • The problem of AI “sycophancy” and its implications
  • The intersection of AI and data protection law
  • The biggest risks and opportunities AI presents to chambers
  • Three core rules for using AI responsibly in legal work
