What Does AI Fluency Actually Look Like?

​Hosted by Harvey Legal Innovation Partners: Megan McMillin Joe Cohen

​Anyone training or hiring lawyers is now making decisions about AI capability without an agreed picture of what skilled use looks like. Law schools, firms, in-house teams, and bar associations are all building programs or making hires against a definition that doesn't yet exist.

​This session works through what fluency means at different stages of a legal career, what moves people from one stage to the next, and where time and money are being spent without producing real capability. You'll leave with a sharper definition of what you're trying to build or hire for, and a clearer view of whether the people in front of you have it.

​Key Takeaways:

• ​A working definition of AI fluency at three career stages, with the signals that distinguish each

• ​The training investments that correlate with fluency and the ones that don't

• ​A diagnostic to take back to your organisation: where are you confusing AI training with AI development?

​Expertly facilitated by Harvey's Legal Innovation Partner team, The Thinking Room provides workshop attendees with the space to explore deeply some of the most important questions for lawyers, law firms and in-house teams in the AI era.

​This session is part of LegalTechTalk 2026, Europe’s Event for Legal Transformation. A dynamic, annual in-person festival bringing together 5,500+ attendees from 75+ countries and over 400 industry-leading speakers across two days, on 17-18 June 2026 at InterContinental London - The O2.
