Generative AI Resources

As generative AI (GenAI) transforms legal education and practice, we’ve curated resources on its applications in law school, higher education, and legal practice. Given the dynamic nature of GenAI development and use, these resources will be regularly updated (last update -11/29/24).

Generative AI Has Arrived

Generative AI is a form of artificial intelligence that uses multi-layer neural networks to generate novel content, including text, prose, computer code, images, and video. Generative AI tools that have been trained on massive amounts of text data to produce human-like text and answers, such as ChatGPT, are referred to as large language models (LLMs) 

The November 2022 public release of ChatGPT ushered in a new AI era that was described as a Promethean moment and a “tipping point for AI”. The launch of ChatGPT set off a race among tech giants to jump in with similar technologies, including Gemini (Google), CoPilot (Microsoft, powered by ChatGPT), Claude (Anthropic), Llama  (Meta), Grok (xAI), and Q (Amazon).
