Practical AI Literacy for Legal Professionals: Understanding and Using Generative AI Responsibly Missed our discussion with Maryam Salehijam, PhD? We had a great conversation about generative AI and what its growing role means for legal professionals and legal nurse consultants. Maryam took us beyond the AI hype and into the practical side, how generative AI works, where it can be useful in everyday work, and where we need to slow down and think critically. The discussion touched on using AI for tasks such as research, summarization, organization, and workflow efficiency, while also exploring important considerations around privacy, confidentiality, accuracy, hallucinations, security, bias, and professional judgment. Most importantly, the conversation reinforced that understanding AI isn't about becoming a technology expert — it's about knowing enough to ask good questions, use these tools thoughtfully, and make informed decisions as the technology continues to evolve. **Want to learn more or continue the conversation?** Explore the presentation resources and connect with Maryam Salehijam, PhD for additional information and insights on the responsible and practical use of generative AI. |
