OpenAI's GPT passes the NY bar exam at the 90th percentile. BCG consultants using ChatGPT finished 12% more tasks, 25.1% faster, at 40% higher quality. In closed tests, AI outperfoms for contract reviews 77x faster at 0.03% the price of humans. But the absolute best legal AI? It works with you, the lawyer. Once you know the basics and how to prompt, you'll wish you'd had AI for legal work for years. This course will give you practical, immediately useful learnings on actual AI prompting with GPT-4, Claude, or tools like GC AI. You'll get a great intro to how AI works. Then get your hands dirty with an experienced GC and AI expert to help and push you with tips and tricks. I promise: you'll be shocked at the quality of AI legal outputs when you learn and practice using it well. Note: this is a one-session crash course lasting 1 hour and 45 minutes on one day.
