A panel of lawyers and tech experts reassured attorneys on Friday that legal technologies based on artificial intelligence aren’t destined to replace them but to help them and their clients by sorting through massive amounts of data, aiding with repetitive tasks and eliminating human error.

The discussion, moderated by James Sherer, partner at Baker & Hostetler, and Shan Thever of the New York City Bar Association, was part of the American Bar Association’s annual meeting underway in New York.
