Why Read/Write in Hash Maps Has O(1) Time Complexity⁉️🚀
- Hash maps are data structures that store data in key-value pairs and are known for their efficient read and write operations.
- The efficiency of these operations is achieved through the use of hashing and direct array access.
- Hashing converts keys into unique integers, which are then used as indices in the internal array.
- Collisions, which occur when different keys produce the same hash, are handled through techniques like chaining or open addressing.

Can GenAI Speed Up the Legal Slow Lane?
- While AI has the potential to streamline legal processes, the stakes are too high for errors, making many legal professionals hesitant to fully embrace AI technologies.
- Many lawyers face challenges in modernizing legal workflows and research techniques due to traditional, outdated systems, paperwork, and research tools.
- Though legal tech adoption is slow, AI-powered search and annotation tools such as CoCounsel and CS Disco have improved legal workflows, while natural language processing has improved accuracy across platforms like Westlaw Edge.
- Legal tech designed for corporate legal teams and legal research tools including SCC Online, LiveLaw, and ECourts are already providing relevant case details, but legal and AI are expected to combine in the future.
- As of now, most tech companies focusing on legal matters are concentrating on research rather than providing legal solutions.
- While AI can enhance certain aspects of legal work, full-scale disruption remains out of reach due to the high stakes and the need for accuracy.
- The legal industry is hesitant to embrace AI technology due to the industry's reliance on tradition and accuracy.
- Lawyers bill by the hour, making it difficult to contribute to user-generated content models like Stack Overflow and Wikipedia, creating a challenge for start-ups.
- Legal tech is often designed for corporate legal teams rather than law firms tackling cases in court, hampering the legal industry's adoption of AI technology.
- Legal and AI as a combination are expected to result in the next 20-30 years, as legal research is still considered a black hole.
