AI is accelerating. The question is whether your knowledge can keep up?

By Inside Practice • April 14, 2026
From Experimentation to Infrastructure: AI x KM Returns to New York on April 29 The legal profession has crossed an inflection point. Generative AI adoption among legal professionals has more than doubled in the past year. According to the 8am 2026 Legal Industry Report, 69% of legal professionals report personally using AI. The Wolters Kluwer Future Ready Lawyer 2026 report paints an even sharper picture: more than 90% of lawyers surveyed now use at least one AI tool in their daily work. The experimentation phase is over. The question is no longer whether to adopt AI, but whether firms have the knowledge foundations to make it reliable, scalable, and defensible in practice. That question sits at the center of AI x KM , a one-day, in-person program taking place at the SUNY Global Center in New York City on April 29, 2026. The event brings together Chief Knowledge Officers, innovation leaders, technology executives, and partners to address what may be the most consequential infrastructure challenge facing law firms today: building the knowledge backbone that AI depends on.
