This Checklist is designed to help in-house lawyers think critically about how and where Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be applied to processes within the in-house legal function. It suggests questions to explore, including process selection and mapping, human oversight, measuring impact, training needs, accountability and the data protection and confidentiality implications of using AI tools. It also discusses what the responses to each of these questions will tell you, and why they are important. Question to explore What it tells you Why it’s important Which legal function processes are high-volume and repetitive? Which processes are candidates for AI assistance. Tasks done frequently with consistent inputs are easier to automate reliably than one-off, complex matters.This helps you focus AI effort where it is most likely to improve speed, consistency and capacity, without undermining quality. Have we mapped the process before considering deploying AI tools? Whether you're automating thoughtfully or reactively.It shows whether you understand the steps, hand-offs, decision points and controls surrounding
