In this special edition of The Corporate Counsel Show, produced in collaboration with Lawyers on Demand, A Consilio Company, we examine the rising significance of self-hosted AI solutions in the legal sector and how they compare to traditional “closed” AI service providers. Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Consilio senior prototyping engineer Mitchell Scott about the rise of self-hosted AI models in legal technology, exploring the advantages and disadvantages of this new approach. Scott also sheds light on why self-hosted AI solutions are fast becoming the future of legal AI, particularly for teams seeking to navigate the complexities of sensitive client data. The discussion also covers Australia’s restrained approach to AI adoption compared to other global markets, key risks and harms currently posed by AI, and how legal teams should prepare their data for AI-enabled systems. They also discuss high-impact areas for AI tools, the importance of trial and error in the adoption process, and how Consilio’s new Guided AI Review can better support legal teams in the litigation discovery process.
