Series Description: This four-part series demystifies the technical foundations and legal implications of modern artificial intelligence (AI). Designed for attorneys and legal professionals with some knowledge of AI, the series provides a structured exploration of how neural networks and transformers function, how “agentic” AI systems are evolving, and what ethical, procedural, and constitutional considerations accompany their use in legal settings. You will leave with a grounded understanding of how AI systems actually work — and how to evaluate, supervise, and responsibly integrate them into legal practice.
Class Description: Building on the foundational material in Reasoning with Transformers, this class contrasts the traditional notion of an “agent” in AI with today’s so-called agentic tools. Our esteemed presenter explains how context engineering techniques allow transformers to simulate multiple personae, encode history, and integrate extensive knowledge bases – often invisibly to users. The discussion also addresses tool calling, inference-time scaling, and how these strategies adapt large, general-purpose transformers to specific deployment environments.
This class is particularly relevant for legal professionals, as agentic workflows are increasingly appearing in law-related technologies. You will gain a grounded understanding of what “agentic” truly means, how these tools operate, and what you must know to assess their capabilities and risks beyond marketing claims.
