Future Work Success Hinges On Preparing People To Thrive In Change & Not Depend On Technology Alone

SPEECH DELIVERED BY HIS EXCELLENCY, PROF. YEMI OSINBAJO, SAN, GCON, IMMEDIATE PAST VICE PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA AT THE 57TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION OF THE CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT OF NIGERIA (CIPM) ON THE 30TH OF OCTOBER, 2025 Protocols I am honoured to be invited to make these remarks today, and I must also congratulate the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria, CIPM, for the giant strides that you have made in the last five decades. Today, the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation regards the institute as a vital partner in the execution of its landmark reforms. One of such is the collaboration with the Service in the implementation of the Performance Management System, a key feature in modernising and streamlining performance evaluation processes in the service. May I also take this opportunity to express my very sincere condolences on the passing of one of the doyens of human resource management practice in Nigeria and the eighth president of the Institute, Christopher Kolade, Commander of the Order of the Niger. I'm aware that it was during Dr. Kolade's tenure that the Institute achieved one of its most significant milestones: the attainment of Charter Status, which elevated the CIPM to the legally recognised body, mandated to regulate the practice of human resource management in Nigeria. May his memory and legacies always be blessed. I'm to speak on the theme of the conference: “Reimagining the New World of Work.” I don't think there is any subject of greater moment today than the question of what work would look like in another, say, five years, not even a decade. The changes we are seeing are that profound. I was speaking recently to the new management of the law firm that I co-founded, Simmons Cooper Partners, from which I am now retired. They were telling me about their new AI-driven tools for legal practice. They now have a Chat GPT interface that can, within minutes, sift through several legal databases and offer summarised opinions based on statutes and case law. This was a task that would usually take days of research and involve several lawyers, beginning with junior counsel all the way up to the partner who would eventually sign off on the opinion. But what is more, the system can even argue with you if you challenge its reasoning. They also use a predictive analytics and legal strategy interface that draws on historical data to advise our clients. They have a tool called the GitHub Co-Pilot for legal drafting, and this uses the firm's internal database to suggest language and clauses that are tailored to specific legal documents. These tools can draft pleadings; in other words, they can draft a statement of claim, a statement of defence, the sorts of things that we lawyers spend time doing. And they would apply the applicable procedure, the rules and laws. Another impressive feature is the Work Product Character Recognition Tool, which ensures that every document produced maintains the firm's professional tone and branding guidelines. The firm also employs AI chatbots to provide immediate responses to common client enquiries, even outside business hours, in other words, 24 hours. Today, we already have, and this is already available, so many law firms, contract review tools like Luminance, Kira Systems, Spellbook, et cetera. They can highlight risky clauses in an agreement or in a contract. It can suggest amendments. It can compare the language in the document to language existing in already existing precedents, and it can translate legalese, or legal language, into plain English. And these tools are becoming more intelligent by the day. In December 2024, ChatGPT launched its 01 model, which is a design to solve complex problems by spending more time thinking. It now has better performance on very complex tasks, like especially in STEM, in mathematics, in coding, and multi-step logic, et cetera. These systems are now capable of critical reasoning, using vast data resources faster than the human mind. ********************************** The official YouTube Channel for Oluyemi Oluleke Osinbajo, Nigerian Lawyer and Politician who served as the Vice President of Nigeria from the 29th of May 2015 to the 29th of May 2023.
