Dear Readers,
On June 20, 2024, the 10th Weblaw Forum LegalTech took place with a special focus on AI. The recordings of the presentations will be published in today's edition of Jusletter IT. David Rosenthal addresses the question of which rules of substantive law regarding the use of AI in the everyday life of a Swiss company play a role today and tomorrow. Anita Lamprecht talks about the competencies for the further development of the legal system in the light of AI. Carmen de la Cruz gives tips on how to get a grip on AI (proliferation) in your company, not only in terms of compliance. Philipp Rosenauer shares his experiences with the use of Harvey AI & Co. in legal departments. Urs Bracher shows how generative AI is used at Walder Wyss. Daniel Halft calls for more experiments. David Schneeberger uses customized GPTs in contracts. Frank Richter reports on AI projects in judicial practice in Germany. Bojan Konic and Andrea Schmidheiny-Konic show how AI can be used to anonymize court decisions in a way that is practical.
At this point, a “Save the date”: The 11th Weblaw Forum LegalTech will be held in Zurich on June 18, 2025, under the motto “AI and LegalTech in Daily Operations”.
