Protégé is designed to enhance the user experience and provide tailored services, but it's crucial to emphasize that the user is always in control. 

Since the beginning of our AI development journey, customers have been able to opt in or out of various feature components. Protégé will allow both the firm and individual user to control personalization settings, like practice areas, preferred jurisdictions, and other work-related details.

Additionally, for users who have enabled DMS integration, Protégé will be able to access previous work product as dictated by the customer. This means that the AI system will only have access to the specific documents and data that the user or firm has explicitly granted permission to access. The user retains full control over what information is shared with the AI system.

For those who don't have DMS integration, users can manually upload documents to Protégé, ensuring that they have complete control over the data and information that the AI system can access and utilize for personalization.

It's important to note that Protégé is designed with robust privacy and security measures in place to protect sensitive client information and ensure compliance with relevant data protection regulations. Users have the ability to review and manage their personalization settings at any time, allowing them to adjust the level of personalization or opt out entirely if desired.

By putting the user in control and providing transparency around data access and personalization settings, Protégé aims to strike a balance between leveraging the power of AI personalization to enhance legal services and maintaining the highest standards of privacy, security, and user autonomy.

LexisNexis has always emphasized two critical AI development tenets: users are in control of product personalization, and data they share is not used to inform product performance for other users. With the Protégé launch, customers decide which personalization services are enabled and whether firm work product is used to answer questions or draft documents. And, when personal work product is used, it is only for that user’s benefit. LexisNexis remains committed to providing the most secure and confidential generative AI experience for lawyers and with new capabilities to unlock a more personal AI experience. Finally, LexisNexis prioritizes security and data protection from the ground up in developing our products. We have a comprehensive data protection program to safeguard customer information including encryption, compliance with data protection laws, and regular security assessments and audits.
