Artificial intelligence (AI) has been making waves across a range of sectors since its inception, with the range of potential applications not lost on adopters.

In the UK, the legal, IT and finance sectors are leading the charge when it comes to using or planning to use AI.

While this may sound self-sabotaging, it’s far from it. Within each sector, professionals understand where AI can be used as a tool rather than a replacement for their own skills. We also understand, through training and experimentation, what it cannot do.

Relying on AI to do something that it hasn’t been designed for, something for which there is no substitute for lateral thinking and knowledge, can have significant consequences.
