    Now is the time for standardization in the age of AI

    Featured Guest: Damien Riehl, VP, Litigation Workflow and Analytics Content at vLEX As a lawyer and consumer of legal technology, Damien was frustrated by the lack of interoperability between vendors and their taxonomies. Damien is now part of the solution with the SALI Alliance. Data management is an under-appreciated prerequisite for leveraging generative AI. SALI tags allow vendors, law firms, and clients to easily standardize their data for better legal services classification and delivery. SALI enables vendors to speak to one another; think of this analogy: you're trying to communicate with someone across the globe, but your telephone doesn't talk to other telephones. Why not get the interoperable phone that talks to everyone's phone? That interoperable telephone is SALI.

Liability - who is liable for false information that AI puts out? LLMs are difficult to control and spew out a lot of false information. Data management - disciplined data management is the key to maximize the value from LLMs.
