Bae, Kim & Lee (BKL) said on the 31st that it has built a firmwide work system that uses global and domestic legal artificial intelligence (AI) along with general-purpose AI.

After operating the global legal AI platform "Harvey" since on the 1st, Taepyungyang will introduce OpenAI's enterprise AI service "ChatGPT Enterprise" starting on the 1st of next month.

It divided the AIs used by work purpose. It will use Harvey for international contract review and analysis of foreign laws, and domestic legal AIs such as LBOX and Superlawyer for searches of domestic precedents and statutes and for domestic cases. It will use ChatGPT Enterprise for general-purpose tasks such as document drafting, data analysis, and translation.

It is also developing its own AI that provides search and work support based on internal knowledge and practical data accumulated by Taepyungyang. It plans to release an internal beta in September and begin full operation in November.

AI accounts will be provided to all professionals, including more than 700 lawyers in Korea and overseas, and to staff departments with high work relevance. It will also share use cases and provide training by practice group, and it plans to review usage status and adjust how the system is run.

It also established security and governance frameworks. Taepyungyang said Harvey and ChatGPT Enterprise are operated in a corporations environment in which client and case-related data are not used for AI model training. It will review in advance the data-processing conditions and security requirements of all tools, including domestic legal AIs, and apply internal guidelines and expert verification procedures.

Managing partner Lee Jun-gi of Taepyungyang said, "What determines performance is not the tool itself but the people who use it and the way they work," adding, "It is time to redesign the entire work process on the premise of AI."
