Our partner, José Luis Pérez Benitez, participated in the meeting organized by Editorial Lefebvre, El Confidencial and PWC where the opportunities and challenges that artificial intelligence brings to the industry were discussed.
Some conclusions from that meeting are as follows:

- Democratization: makes legal services more accessible.
Challenges:
- Uncertain future for young lawyers: possible displacement by automation.
- Educational adaptation: how to integrate AI into the training of future lawyers.
- Data quality: the effectiveness of AI depends on the quality of the information.
- Risk of errors: human supervision is necessary to avoid “hallucinations”.
- Value of human judgment: experience and critical analysis today are irreplaceable.
Conclusions:
- The horizon is promising, although much remains to be built.
- Collaboration between legal professionals and technology is crucial to navigate the opportunities and challenges.
- It will be essential to know and master the tools without forgetting our great strengths as human beings.
