“Artificial intelligence” (AI) is the buzzword of the hour, but its overuse has contributed to some significant misunderstandings about what AI technology is and how it works.

Information technology and managed services company Alphaserve Technologies is hoping to help firms take a step back to learn a little more. The company last week launched a set of educational programs to help law firm leaders get a deeper grasp of AI and data analytics concepts.
