As a leader in legal technology, Blue J consistently explores and harnesses AI advancements. This dedication was evident in our recent webinar, "The Rise of Generative AI in Tax Research," hosted by CEO Benjamin Alarie and Vice President of Legal Research, Susan Massey. They explored the revolutionary power of Generative AI in tax research. If you missed the webinar, we are offering access to the recording here.
The webinar began with a discussion on the current state of tax research, highlighting the dichotomy between the traditional methods of research and the emerging reliance on search engines like Google. While Google searches offer speed and convenience, they often lack the depth and accuracy required for tax research. On the other hand, conventional tax libraries, though authoritative, can be cumbersome and time-consuming to navigate.
The solution, as proposed in the webinar, lies in leveraging Generative AI. The advent of ChatGPT, which skyrocketed to 100 million users within 60 days of its release, has opened up new possibilities for tax research. However, as with any new technology, it's essential to understand its limitations and potential pitfalls.
The webinar highlighted several limitations of Generative AI, including the risk of "hallucinating", a cut-off date for training data, lack of references to authoritative content, and the absence of subject matter experts in the development process. These limitations underscore the need for a careful and expert-guided approach to using Generative AI in tax research.
