A wide-ranging conversation on the hottest legal-AI topics of the moment, from hype-fatigue to what's actually working inside law firms.
Welcome to the latest episode of Zach and Richard’s Excellent Legal AI Adventure – where we focus on a range of hot topics, from why the Big Law / legal AI engagement today feels a lot like ‘The Big Short’ (with the NewMods and most progressive AI companies in the role of Michael Burry and allies); to how Jevon’s Paradox doesn’t operate in a vacuum and that countervailing AI forces will eventually come into play; and why curated legal data is a powerful defence against any impending repeat of the Claude Crash. Plus, at least two references to Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin – as well as some levees breaking.
All this and more in the new and deluxe edition of Zach and Richard’s Excellent Legal AI Adventure. Alright, let’s ramble on….!
