In this program, we will explore how AI can help you write faster.

 

AI provides us with a superhuman ability to overcome writer’s block, make our sentences smoother, check for consistency, test our logic, and spot ambiguity. However, due to the specialized nature of legal communication, when we use AI ineffectively, it will have the reverse outcome—making our writing slower.

 

During this session, we will comb through the prompting techniques (i.e., the instructions you give to AI) that will ensure you are harnessing AI’s power in a way that speeds up your writing rather than holds it back. A prime example of when AI can slow you down is when you ask it to make a document more concise (such as a letter to clients or slides for a presentation). This request for brevity often backfires because AI tends to strip away the subtlety that was important to you but undetectable to “the robot”.

 

By attending this program, you will acquire tools to accelerate your writing, without having to adjust your natural style.
