September 23, 2025 - The AI Acceleration: Speed, Security, and the Scramble for Control.

Today, the legal landscape transforms at an extraordinary pace, reflecting a massive surge in artificial intelligence adoption that has climbed from 19% to 79% in just one year across the legal field. Artificial intelligence is proving to be a superb assistant, demonstrating the capability to generate complex legal drafts and research components in seconds, thereby offering measurable outcomes like reclaiming billable hours and potentially raising profitability. However, this rapid integration confronts profound challenges, including persistent subtle biases in models, high data security risks introduced by "bring-your-own AI" practices, and escalating intellectual property battles fueled by generative systems over copyrighted material. As firms race to embrace these tools, lawyers must address the necessity of meticulous human oversight and verification protocols to combat "hallucinations"—where AI produces plausible falsehoods—and manage the reduction of user control inherent in highly autonomous models like GPT-5. We explore how the profession manages this critical pivot, where AI fluency is quickly transitioning from a bonus to an expected professional competency, demanding new strategies for governance and accountability across every layer of practice.What does Bryan Garner think of artificial intelligence?2025-09-22 | ABA JournalBlog Post AI at Work: The 6-Step Accountability Framework for Inclusive Workplaces September 22, 20252025-09-22 | SeramountSkadBytes Podcast | Whose Work Is It Anyway?: How UK Law is Grappling With Generative AI and Training Data2025-09-22 | JD SupraLaw Tech AI Launches Two Cohorts for California Solos and Small Firms: Practical AI Foundations2025-09-22 | Windows ForumAI training becomes mandatory at more US law schools2025-09-22 | ReutersLitera Joins Microsoft AI Inner Circle to Embed AI in 365 Apps2025-09-22 | Windows ForumLinklaters announces firmwide roll-out of Legora’s Generative AI platform2025-09-22 | LinklatersDisney sues AI firm MiniMax with Warner Bros Discovery and NBCU2025-09-22 | App Developer Magazine6 things we learned about life as a tech lawyer2025-09-22 | Legal CheekA Complete Guide to Legal Workflow Automation: Everything You Need to Know2025-09-22 | Simplified.comLinklaters Rolls Out Legora In Key Customer Win2025-09-22 | Artificial LawyerRage against the machine: the increase of AI in employment disputes2025-09-22 | Insider Media LimitedUK’s biggest law firms race to lead AI adoption2025-09-22 | Law Society GazetteThe AI Law Professor: When the new AI model disappoints2025-09-22 | Thomson Reuters InstituteLegal Education Must Change Because of AI – Survey2025-09-22 | Artificial LawyerThe Problem Isn’t ChatGPT.
