AI in Law: Mark Britton to Speak at ClioCon on His Optimistic Vision for the Future

Knowing many legal professionals are pessimists when it comes to AI, Clio is bringing in an optimist on AI in the law, Mark Britton to speak next week at #ClioCon in Nashville.

Lawyers know Britton as the founder of Avvo – someone who can see around the corner when it comes to the future of legal services and one not afraid to stand up to Bar Associations in Avvo’s mission to help lawyers and make legal services more accessible to consumers and small business people.

Venture Capitalist, and the creator of the first Internet browser, Netscape, Marc Andreessen recently authored a white paper entitled, “Why AI Will Save the World.”

Clio, in its online introduction of Britton, described Andreesen’s paper as a simple, thoughtful review of how AI and machine learning might help humans.

Britton has a similar optimism for AI and the legal world, from legal consumers to lawyers to judges to lawmakers. He will talk about the “stone age” of modern AI in legal, its future potential, and why we should all be optimistic – and strategic – regarding that potential.

With lawyers dissing the use of AI in writing and other areas of practice, it’ll be refreshing to hear Britton.

Britton is an engaging speaker who combines insightful commentary with practical information. He has a knack for making complex topics accessible and connecting with his audience in almost a conversational tone.

Those on the fence about AI in the law would be well served to sit on Britton’s talk.
