UH Law Center's Professor Chandler Launches "AI for Legal Education" Blog to Guide the Next Generation of Lawyers
The blog (legaled.ai) directly addresses the challenges and opportunities of AI, contending that students not actively using these tools risk a significant disadvantage in their studies and their careers. In his post, 'If I Were a Law Student Today,' Chandler outlines a core toolkit and workflow for using AI to learn more deeply, manage information, and prepare for a legal profession that is rapidly adopting AI for research, drafting, and analysis.
While providing a roadmap for students is a key focus, the blog offers practical resources for the entire legal community. Chandler takes an 'educator-first' perspective, demonstrating through actionable posts how AI can augment—not replace—legal expertise.
Content on the blog is designed for immediate application, with posts that include:
A Modern Student's Playbook: Outlining the essential AI toolkit for today's law students and arguing that AI proficiency is now a core competency for a legal career.
Actionable Workflows for Experts: A step-by-step demonstration of how to use AI to analyze a complex Supreme Court opinion and prepare media-ready commentary in under 30 minutes.
Practical, Accessible Tutorials: Guides on building custom AI assistants ('Gems' or 'CustomGPTs') without needing to be a programmer. As Chandler notes, 'English is the new programming language.'
Bringing decades of experience in mathematics, computer science, and law, Chandler aims to create a space 'to think seriously, and sometimes playfully, about how the world of legal education is changing.'
He encourages the UH Law Center community and others to engage with the project by subscribing (at no charge) to the blog, emphasizing that AI integration is no longer a distant hypothetical. The blog is a resource for students aiming to enter the workforce with a decisive advantage, faculty seeking to enhance their teaching, and alumni navigating a changing professional landscape.

Balancing Automation with Human Support Key to AI-Driven CX, Says Info-Tech Research Group
Newly released insights from Info-Tech Research Group reveal that over-relying on automation can erode customer trust. To help organizations implement AI without losing the human element, the global IT research and advisory firm has published a step-by-step resource for enhancing customer experience through strategic, outcome-driven AI implementation. TORONTO, July 23, 2025 /CNW/ – Rising service costs, disjointed customer journeys, and growing customer impatience are forcing many organizations to rethink how they scale personalization in customer experience. New research from global research and advisory firm Info-Tech Research Group shows that AI can be transformative for customer experience (CX) when used strategically and intentionally. The firm's studies suggest that meaningful improvements come from balancing automation with human support and aligning technology closely with desired customer outcomes. To support this approach, Info-Tech's recently published resource, Implement AI for Customer Experience, provides a comprehensive framework designed to help organizations improve both customer and employee experiences. Rather than pursuing automation for its own sake, the firm's industry experts encourage CX and IT leaders to use AI to anticipate customer needs, support staff with intelligent tools, and personalize service at scale while maintaining the human touch. 'AI presents an extraordinary opportunity to redefine how organizations connect with their customers, turning routine interactions into high-value experiences that drive loyalty and growth,' says Ryan Brunet, principal research director at Info-Tech Research Group. 'By leveraging advanced capabilities like predictive analytics, sentiment detection, hyperpersonalization, and embedding AI within their contact center, companies can anticipate customer needs, resolve issues proactively, and build lasting brand advocacy.' Info-Tech's insights highlight the challenges organizations face as they strive to balance cost-efficiency with customer satisfaction. The comprehensive resource details that relying too heavily on automation, such as call deflection and fast self-service, can result in shallow customer interactions that ultimately damage trust. To succeed in delivering meaningful, AI-powered customer experiences, the firm's research findings suggest CX and IT leaders track key performance indicators and user feedback in real-time, then refine AI capabilities regularly to stay aligned with shifting customer needs and strategic goals. Brunet, Info-Tech's AI expert and author of the blueprint, notes that 'while AI has the potential to reshape the CX, its success depends on tying efforts to meaningful customer outcomes and ensuring teams are fully prepared to support the transformation.' In its Implement AI for Customer Experience resource, Info-Tech outlines the key advantages of using AI to enhance CX within organizations: Operations Efficiency: Automated tools undertake repetitive tasks such as responding to common inquiries, routing service tickets, and flagging urgent cases. With faster access to relevant customer data, frontline teams can make quicker, more informed decisions. Business Growth: Behavioral analytics and intelligent personalization can reveal customer preferences and anticipate future needs. With these insights, organizations can deliver timely, personalized offers that strengthen retention and unlock new revenue through upselling and cross-selling. Customer Experience: AI systems tailor interactions based on customer history and context, which can enable instant support through chatbots or virtual agents. Faster resolutions and more relevant experiences help build long-term customer loyalty. Employee Experience: By using AI to handle repetitive tasks and deliver real-time insights, employees are able to focus on complex issues that require human judgment. This shift can reduce stress, boost engagement, and improve overall performance among staff. Risk and Resilience: With early issue detection and proactive responses, AI can help organizations manage disruptions, while data-backed strategies build adaptable, future-ready service models. 'The future is bright for CX leaders who fully embrace the transformative potential of AI,' explains Brunet. 'With the right strategic alignment, AI becomes more than a piece of the technology puzzle; it becomes the catalyst for deeper engagement, stronger loyalty, and sustainable growth.'

Taiwan plans AI projects to boost economy by US$510bil
Taiwan's Premier Cho Jung-tai said Taiwan aims to leverage its information and communications technology sector to become a 'smart technology island'. (EPA Images pic) TAIPEI : Taiwan plans to launch its 'Ten Major AI Infrastructure Projects' initiative, aimed at generating more than T$15 trillion (US$510 billion) in economic value by 2040 as it strives to become a global leader in artificial intelligence (AI). Premier Cho Jung-tai said in a Facebook post late yesterday that Taiwan aims to leverage its information and communications technology (ICT) sector and world-leading semiconductor manufacturing capabilities to become a global AI influencer and a 'smart technology island'. Under the initiative, Taiwan has identified three core technologies as strategic priorities: silicon photonics, quantum technology and AI robotics. Silicon photonics is a technology that Taiwan's TSMC, the world's largest contract chipmaker, and many other firms in the industry are actively developing. The government aims to position Taiwan as a global leader in silicon photonics by aligning the sector with future AI development needs. Taiwan also hopes to become a key hub for AI robotics by tapping its hardware and ICT supply chains. Industry groups, including one led by Foxconn chairman Young Liu, have backed the move with the formation of the Taiwan AI Robotics Industry Grand Alliance yesterday to support the local development of AI robotics and related ecosystems. Taiwan also plans to establish a quantum technology industry chain. The 10 projects also include the development of sovereign AI – ability to build and control domestic AI technologies – and computing infrastructure, efforts to balance AI development across different regions of the island, and the introduction of AI across a wide range of industries. The government also calls for expanding investment in AI innovation, with more than T$100 billion (US$3.08 billion) in venture capital funding, as it seeks to become a global hub for AI talent and investment. The initiative targets the creation of 500,000 jobs and the establishment of three international-level research laboratories.

Alibaba launches open-source AI coder, says it rivals GPT-4 in programming power
BEIJING, July 23 — Alibaba Group announced today the launch of Qwen3-Coder, an open-source artificial intelligence model for software development that the Chinese e-commerce giant described as its most advanced coding tool to date. The launch comes amid intensifying competition among Chinese technology companies in the global AI development race, with firms on both sides of the Pacific releasing increasingly sophisticated models. Qwen3-Coder is designed for software development tasks such as code generation and managing complex coding workflows, Alibaba said in a statement. The company positioned the model as particularly strong in 'agentic AI coding tasks' — automated processes where AI systems can work independently on programming challenges. According to performance data released by Alibaba, Qwen3-Coder outperformed domestic competitors, including models from DeepSeek and Moonshot AI's K2 in key coding capabilities. The company also claimed its model matched the performance of leading US models, including Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's GPT-4 in certain areas. — Reuters
