Experts at LegalTechTalk 2026 stress AI aids law but human judgment remains essential for justiceSummary
The panel discussion titled AI in the Courtroom at LegalTechTalk 2026 featured Mona Datt of Loom Analytics and Caoimhe Powell of HSF Kramer. They described how perception of generative AI has shifted from skepticism to curiosity and adoption, noting that while AI can speed up legal work, ultimate responsibility for justice rests with human professionals who must supervise AI outputs and ensure they are legally defensible.
Speakers highlighted the need for transparency and disclosure when using AI, especially in document review where millions of files can be processed quickly but still require human review for edge cases and privilege issues. They emphasized that critical thinking must be cultivated, that organizations should establish governance frameworks for AI use, and that practitioners should focus on high impact applications, document lessons learned, and avoid overreliance on automated systems.
