SCL - Society for Computers and Law

Heading to London in the morning (for the first time, via sailrail to reduce carbon cost of my business travel) to attend this SCL - Society for Computers and Law masterclass event hosted by Michelmores. There is a new wave of digital regulation with impacts up and down supply chains and rare is the enterprise contract that will be unaffected. Continued thanks to SCL for hosting relevant and timely events. If you're a tech lawyer and not already a member, I highly recommend joining. The Friday afternoon newsletter by David Chaplin is, on its own, worth the membership fee. https://lnkd.in/e29z5bU3

AI is having a profound impact on many sectors, and yesterday I chaired a session on behalf of SCL - Society for Computers and Law to consider how large language models can be optimised in the public sector and legal profession through the art of prompt writing. Joined by experts including Rachel McKoy from the London Borough of Newham, Amanda C. from PwC, Roch Glowacki from Lewis Silkin and Charlotte Clayson from Trowers & Hamlins, we discussed: - how GenAI can optimise legal applications such as contract analysis and drafting; - the regulatory regime and risks around privacy and data sharing; - best practices for creating effective prompts and see examples focussed on the work of the public sector; and - engaged in hands-on practice with common prompt writing techniques and approaches. #AI #PublicSector #LLMs #PromptWriting
