5 ASIAN LEGAL BUSINESS – JUNE 2023 WWW.LEGALBUSINESSONLINE.COM BRI EFS MICHELLE MAHONEY, executive director of innovation, King & Wood Mallesons King & Wood Mallesons has been using AI models on client engagements since 2015. However, with any new technology, large language model (LLM) tools like ChatGPT are not deterministic. They carry risks around reliability, accuracy, providence, output quality and privacy. To mitigate these risks, the firm has implemented a number of guardrails. While the firm encourages staff to learn, test and explore embedding, prompt engineering and elaboration skills with tools like ChatGPT, no client data (in any format), firm data or information about individuals is allowed to be used during experimentation and learning. As the generative AI model landscape continues to evolve at pace, we are developing a robust AI risk management framework, an AI ethical use policy, as well as training for employees to support implementation. We are also watching key developments worldwide, including the recent passing of the EU AI Act, discussion surrounding AI inputs (data used when training an AI system) and outputs (data generated by an AI system), and the application of copyright law. Earlier this month, Japan decided that using datasets for training AI models does not violate copyright law. King & Wood Mallesons remains committed to supporting innovation and building the digital literacy skills of our people. We are excited by the role AI tools will play in how we deliver value for our clients and new growth opportunities.
