Our co-managing partner, Christos Ioannides, shared his insights on AI during the Digital Agenda Cyprus Summit 2024. He emphasised that those who embrace AI and continuously explore its potential will gain a competitive edge. Christos believes that AI is a revolutionary tool and as history has shown, such tools drive evolution. Lawyers who foresee this shift and master AI will soon have a significant advantage over those who remain in their comfort zones. While regulation will play a role, evolution doesn’t wait for it. The future of the legal profession is set to be powered by AI. | SppMedia | #Cyprus #LLPOLawFirm #DigitalAgenda2024 #AIinLaw #LegalTech #AIRevolution #FutureOfLaw #InnovationInLaw #CompetitiveAdvantage #LawyersOfTomorrow #AIandLaw #LegalEvolution
