Jim Sullivan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sullivan9999/) joins Brian Roberts(https://www.linkedin.com/in/beeberts/) in the Attorney Lounge (https://linktr.ee/attorneylounge) and explains how artificial intelligence is disrupting the legal industry. The conversation starts immediately when Brian asks Jim whether AI lawyers will replace real lawyers and Jim flat out says yes - that while AI is not going to replace all lawyers, it is going to replace certain positions. With that displacement, however, the discussion evolves into conversation about all of the new jobs and opportunities that will develop as a result of this new technology. Jim talks about many of the use cases where AI is being applied in the legal industry today including, in particular, in the classification of relevant documents in the production of discovery.Jim grew up in a small mining town in Minnesota called Hibbing. He went to school for computer science and math, but started looking at law school as an option after graduating from Minnesota State. After taking the practice LSATs and doing well, he decided to go to law school at Mitchell Hamline School of Law as a unique way to combine unique skill sets of law and computer science. Jim talks about his path to entrepreneurship and his willingness to take on more risk than most lawyers. Today, Jim’s past experience as a tech expert and lawyer are now coming together in a unique way to take advantage of these new opportunities to leverage AI in the legal industry. Jim’s wife perhaps sums up his expertise best by referring to him as a “nerd translator.” He’s now leveraging that expertise to disrupt the legal industry.Please visit the links below for more information about Jim, Brian, eDiscovery AI and Array, who serves as the host sponsor of The Attorney Lounge.Links:Jim Sullivan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sullivan9999/Brian Roberts: https://www.linkedin.com/in/beeberts/eDiscovery AI: https://ediscoveryai.com/Array: https://www.trustarray.com Lawyers careers
