- [Beyond legal: looking at AI through an optimistic lens](https://chancerylaneproject.org/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/beyond-legal-looking-at-ai-through-an-optimistic-lens.md) — The Chancery Lane Project exists to drive fair and fast decarbonisation. AI, meanwhile, is energy-intensive. The tension is obvious. Law has already shifted in response to generative AI. And we can't ignore that shift.
- [Beyond legal: Artificial intelligence and energy usage revisited](https://chancerylaneproject.org/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/beyond-legal-artificial-intelligence-and-energy-usage-revisited.md) — A year ago, we were optimistic about AI and energy use — hoping efficiency gains would lead to lower demand, as with technologies before it.
They haven't. Efficiency has driven higher consumption, not lower, and the emissions savings have not materialised.
- [Beyond legal: exploring AI & climate through a legal lens](https://chancerylaneproject.org/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/beyond-legal-exploring-ai-climate-through-a-legal-lens.md) — Everyone's asking what AI means for the practice of law. We think that's the wrong question. In this first post in a new series, we explain what we're building instead.
- [Failing forward: experiments and lessons from building legal AI prototypes](https://chancerylaneproject.org/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/failing-forward-experiments-and-lessons-from-building-legal-ai-prototypes.md) — Our experiments aren’t about shipping features. They’re about showing what’s possible, making mistakes and celebrating the odd agility that only a non-profit can pull off. Not every idea is good, and that’s the whole point.
- [Using AI to track open source climate clause adoption](https://chancerylaneproject.org/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/using-ai-to-track-open-source-climate-clause-adoption.md) — We often think of innovation as a space to create something new without constraints, that points us towards to a future of what’s possible and where we can go next. But innovation can also be used in a different direction; to help us make sense of the past so we can better understand what we’ve already done.
- [Artificial intelligence and energy usage: crisis or catalyst?](https://chancerylaneproject.org/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/artificial-intelligence-and-energy-usage-crisis-or-catalyst.md) — DeepSeek, a hedge fund-backed Chinese artificial intelligence company, seemed to emerge as an unlikely ally for environmental activists when they released their most recent large language model (LLM) in January 2025. The model promised GPT-level accuracy with fewer chips, less energy, and a smaller budget.
