– Dr. Alejandro Ponce

Key takeaways & next steps:

  • A vast global justice gap exists, with billions lacking access to legal help due to issues like inadequate documentation, legal expertise, and barriers within the legal system.
  • The potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in improving access to justice lies in offering efficient legal information, aiding lawyers with documents, and aiding informed decisions by judges and legal professionals, enhancing the accessibility, efficiency, and affordability of legal services.
  • Due to AI’s rapid advancement, businesses, governments, and legal institutions must quickly explore and integrate AI solutions into their operations within the next three to five years to avoid falling behind in technology.
  • Policymakers and corporate leaders must work together to update regulations, especially regarding unauthorized legal practice, to accommodate AI-driven legal services that will ultimately protect the public while harnessing AI’s potential to bridge the justice gap.
