AI is now part of legal work, and expectations have shifted from experimentation to accountability. The 2026 Secretariat/ACEDS AI Survey captures how legal teams are using AI across real workflows, and what’s still getting in the way.

Last year’s survey showed rapid adoption of generative AI for drafting, research, and review, along with ongoing gaps in governance, training, and transparency. This year, we’re focused on execution and defensibility.

Take the survey in a few minutes.

Your input helps create a benchmark the legal community relies on.
