Kitty Boxall speaks to Darian Woods at The Indicator from Planet Money

‍How is AI impacting jobs and the economy?

Advancements in artificial intelligence have already started to reshape the types of jobs and skills that will drive future economies. AI is creating new kinds of jobs - from computer vision scientists to data ethicists to human-AI interaction experts.

The legal industry has also experienced shifts as a result of AI. From new roles emerging, like Legal Engineers, to changes in existing roles, there has been a sea of change in the last 12 months since large language models burst on to the scene.

A conversation with Kitty Boxall

Kitty Boxall, Legal Engineering Lead at Robin AI spoke to Darian Woods from Planet Money’s The Indicator earlier this week about the new jobs that developments in AI has created.

Kitty commented on the podcast, “I was delighted to have the opportunity to speak to Darian on Planet Money’s The Indicator about my role at Robin AI, and to have a broader conversation about the future of work and jobs. Joining Robin AI has given me the opportunity to connect two of my passions: developing new technology and products, and the law! It’s an exciting time to be working at the intersection between AI and the law - there’s so much opportunity to help lawyers to harness the power of legal AI to transform their efficiency, productivity and accuracy. I fully believe that this new technology is enabling lawyers to work at the top of their licenses, doing the substantive work that they enjoy the most, and not getting weighed down by the time-consuming and repetitive work.

I think the future of work is really exciting as there is so much potential for new roles and specialisms to develop across industry verticals - I’m in a role that didn’t exist 18 months ago, and I’m both optimistic and enthusiastic about the new opportunities that will emerge as this technology continues to evolve.”
