The Future of AI: How Evolving Models Are Impacting the Legal Landscape
In late 2022, commercially available generative artificial intelligence tools saw an exponential increase in sophistication and ability, taking the legal world by storm. As the underlying models continue to evolve and improve, these tools will become more powerful—increasing both their applicability to legal work and their implications for existing law in the process.
The increasing power of AI models
One of the most significant developments in this space is the launch of Tsuzumi, a Large Language Model (LLM) designed to address environmental and financial challenges typically associated with LLMs. By adjusting model size without compromising performance, Tsuzumi makes advanced AI technologies, including Generative AI, accessible to a wider range of users and applications. Its operational adaptability allows it to quickly adjust to specific use-case requirements and reduce service provisioning costs.
Tsuzumi, a game-changer in AI technology
Tsuzumi is available in two versions: an ultra-lightweight version with a parameter size of 600 million (0.6B) and a lightweight version with a parameter size of 7 billion (7B), which are 1/300 and 1/25th the size of Open AI’s GPT-3’s 175 billion (175B), respectively. The lightweight version is designed to perform high-speed inference on a single GPU, while the ultra-lightweight version can do so on a CPU. This design significantly reduces the costs required for training, inference, and tuning.
The launch of Tsuzumi comes at a time when Indian IT giant Tech Mahindra has also announced the launch of Indian languages-focused LLM ‘Project Indic’, starting with Hindi language and its dialects. This development is expected to have a significant impact on the legal landscape, particularly in India.
Project Indic, a step towards AI-driven legal innovation in India
As AI models continue to evolve, their implications for the legal world will only continue to grow. From combating deepfakes to integrating AI into legal practice, the possibilities are endless. One thing is certain, however: the future of AI is bright, and its impact on the legal landscape will be felt for years to come.
