Artificial intelligence

The significant growth and popularisation of AI tools presents challenges and opportunities for legal practitioners and legal practice in Queensland.

QLS is committed to providing practical guidance and resources on the safe and responsible use of AI in the legal profession. 

To ensure we can provide guidance and leadership on these issues, in 2024 we established the AI in Legal Practice Consulting Committee. and in consultation with the QLS Innovation Committee, developed a member survey, the QLS Business of Law Survey, to establish a baseline of member’s experience with generative AI.
