How conveyancers should use generative AI
Hunter Steele, Smokeball CEO and industry authority on the use of artificial intelligence in the workplace believes the trepidation towards the use of AI comes often from people not knowing any better. There is a place for it and it can be used wisely. Here are some of his tips
1. Embrace it
“Don’t be scared of AI,” Steele says. “If you haven’t tried ChatGPT, try it – whether that’s by helping your kid with their homework, or using it to write a routine letter to a client.”
2. Think about where value can be added
Steele says the whole point of generative AI is that it should save you time and effort. “There’s not much point if it’s disconnected from your daily workflow,” he notes.
3. Experiment
“It’s very powerful, and if you put any reservations aside, you might be surprised by what it can do. You’ll also learn that the power is in your hands and it’s not going to take it away from you.”
4. Be careful
Despite its potential, Steele cautions everyone to be sensible with what they share with ChatGPT or other LLMs. That’s because there is always potential for data leaks. “Don’t plug too much sensitive information into ChatGPT,” he explains. “Exercise the same level of caution you usually would with your client’s information.”
