Gary Wingins explains that AI can test legal theories and help generate new structures, particularly in areas like international tax, by providing feedback and validating ideas. In patent law, AI has been instrumental in creating broader and higher-quality patent applications by incorporating diverse scientific knowledge.
“He will use AI to test out some of his theories and it will give him some feedback, and he'll work with the AI to come up with new structures.”
“We are using an AI tool to help us to help our lawyers draft patent patent applications. They have been telling me, we've been doing this for a little over six months, that the primary benefit is that it creates a better patent application because while almost all of our patent lawyers are or engineers of some type, mostly software electrical engineers, the knowledge that the AI tool has is of all engineering, right, and of all sciences and arts, and it's able to bring in a biologist's perspective, perhaps just to use something and create a broader application.”
