Learning from Liza Massey (She/Her) , Brandie Nonnecke, PhD , Kan Wang , and Alfredo Rocha about AI in county administration at the California State Association of Counties® Legislative Conference! Talk about leadership in action!

We've had the joy and benefit of Sarah Glassmeyer's expertise on our team for almost a year now - so it seems silly that we've waited this long to get her writing for us! Never fear, we've rectified that just in time for this excellent forecasting piece, part of our bumper week of year-end content. Sarah's prediction? 2024 will be the year of the knowledge wrangler, the year when your knowledge workers will come into their own as firms grapple with getting generative AI projects seriously under way and leveraging their own data effectively. What's coming down the pipeline is no less difficult than what we faced this year (in some ways, it may be harder), but never fear: you likely have the necessary resources on board already in the form of your experienced knowledge workers and information specialists. #legaltech #legalinnovation #legalresearch #Knowledgework #genAI

Lets gooooooo Buffalo!!!! Join Oswaldo Mestre, Executive Director of Citizen Services, City of Buffalo as they dive into the critical findings of the Trust Imperative 4.0 GenAI: The Trust Multiplier for Government. Learn more about the opportunity for government to embrace GenAI, while making it easier to deliver on their mission.

Tech governance is a hot topic at the moment. The Economist recently featured a debate on the feasibility of self-governance between OpenAI's board members: former (Helen Toner, Tasha McCauley) and present (Larry Summers, Bret Taylor). Their common ground is that AI represents a major development in human history, and government regulation is essential.   The next wave of tech presents significant risks including misaligned AI, dual-use (e.g. bioweapons), and market monopolies. Regulation can help, but it is hard given the speed of evolution, concentration of resources, and geopolitical tensions. Further, regulation can unintentionally limit innovation or competition.   In April, a group of leaders from government, science and business was convened by the BCG Henderson Institute and Simon Levin for our annual #Science and #Business dinner to discuss regulatory innovation to address these challenges.

According to a University of North Carolina School of Law session on the Economic and Board Outlook for 2024, speaking about the #boardofdirectors and #responsibleai Cigdem Oktem states, "I honestly believe that we are going to have much more engaged and interesting dialogue in board rooms this year, than even last year or the year before, because of all of the changes that we're see and everything that is happening."   We've been helping boards with: 🧑🏽🎓 Pursuing foundational and ongoing education on AI 🔍 Crafting Board oversight of AI 🧑🏿💼 Talent strategy ⚖️ Strategies in driving a culture of responsible use of AI Reach out if we can help you and your board.

What will the year 2024 look like in #legaltech? According to the inimitable Sarah Glassmeyer, it's going to be the year many firms get down to work, building out use cases for generative AI and preparing information and content and data to make the technology work effectively. For some firms, Sarah, says, it might also be the year you move from a FOMO moment to an "Oh no" moment... unless you deploy the right resources to start doing this work. And what are the right resources? You may not need some new AI role just yet. Instead, look for your knowledge wranglers: "If you work in library services, knowledge management, records, or otherwise spend your time making information and knowledge findable and usable, then get ready to shine because this next year is all about you." Find out why Sarah's has pinged 2024 as the year of the knowledge wrangler, and how to position yourself for success and avoid an "Oh no!" moment, by reading her excellent article (linked below). #GenAI #knowledgework #knowledgemanagement #data #legalresearch
