Everything you wanted to know about Artificial Intelligence (AI) but were afraid to ask.

This guide helps attorneys, judges, judicial administrators, paralegals, and law students understand what happens when the world’s slowest profession meets the world’s fastest evolving technology. From commercial law to criminal law, from intellectual property law to employment law, and from consumer law to corporate law, no area of practice will be left untouched by AI.

No technical mumbo-jumbo here. This book is an easy-to-understand survival manual for the coming world of AI. You will learn about the core concepts of AI, its implications in different fields of law, and its ethics and regulation. We have combed through hundreds of articles, reports, and corporate manuals and distilled their essence for you. We are like ChatGPT, just funnier and with fewer hallucinations.

We hope this book inspires lawyers, young and old, to become AI Jedis in the pursuit of justice for all.
