    What can generative AI do for legal? That’s what everyone’s talking about, from Goldman Sachs saying upwards of 44 percent of legal tasks could soon be handled by AI to Goldman Sachs announcing that AI is a dead-end technology. Head-spinning really. There are a lot of legal tasks that generative AI can already tackle — or at least can soon tackle with the help of vendors building on top of existing GenAI tech — but there are also pie-in-the-sky robot lawyer tasks that are a long way off… if they’re even worth bothering to pursue.
