Abstract

Having set out my perspective on the impact and implications of artificial intelligence, machine learning and technology on the legal profession in Asia, and having highlighted the need for in-house counsels in Asia to continuously deliver value in order to thrive and succeed in an age of artificial intelligence (“AI”) and in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (“VUCA”) world, I would like to complete this topic by discussing 2 essential personality traits which in-house counsels need in order to thrive and succeed in an age of AI and in a VUCA world.
