Choosing a Model to Adopt
Part III explores the landscape of generative AI tools and platforms that have emerged since the introduction of ChatGPT in 2022. This part examines the features and technical capabilities of commercially available products, as well as those integrated into whole systems (e.g., Microsoft and Apple). It examines their specific strengths, limitations, and suitability in an attempt to help you consider their capability, cost structures, and specific use-case demands. This part of the book also includes a review of Australian-developed AI tools for the Australian legal market.
