AI and Legal Transformation at La Poste: Experiences, Initiatives, and Collaboration
Published on : 11/06/2024 11 June Jun 06 2024Blog
Aurelie Morin's Presentation, Legal Operations Manager (La Poste Group), as part of the panel discussion "The Impact of AI on Lawyers in 2024: Technology, Skills, Use Cases."
Digitalization and the use of generative AI are part of the objectives of the Legal Department's strategy at La Poste Group.
First Steps Towards AI: Training and Legal Collaboration at La PosteEven before ChatGPT became the focus of daily conversations, we had established a multidisciplinary working group covering various areas of law, consisting of 10 lawyers, to test it.
In the meantime, we have implemented some training sessions and conducted awareness-raising actions to engage the lawyers. We are 140 within La Poste's legal department, and we have created legal cafes to share with the Caisse des Dépôts group. In total, we are 800 lawyers to exchange ideas, define what we are talking about AI, generative AI, extractive AI, and what they correspond to. But also, to handle AI and test it.
Implementing AI in the Legal Landscape: Experiences and Reflections at La PosteBeyond our ongoing reflection on the impacts of AI and its use in our profession, we are also involved at a global level. One of our legal directors worked with all of La Poste's departments to draft a memo on data protection, advising all postal workers not to share any personal or company data when using ChatGPT. A group of lawyers is currently working on use cases. As a Legal Ops manager, I collaborate with our DATA/AI division and the Transformation Department to monitor the evolution of our environment in light of Generative AI.
