In the couple of years since the popularization of ChatGPT, generative AI technology has quickly taken hold in the legal profession.

It has backfired in some cases, such as when an attorney filed a legal brief written with ChatGPT's help and the AI platform hallucinated some of the cases in the brief. That case and others have led some law firms to block general access to AI tools. Most recently, Hill Dickinson, a law firm in the U...

Without a good data strategy, generative AI becomes unusable technology for enterprises.

This was true when ChatGPT started becoming popular, and it is even more accurate years later.

The most recent example is the AI Chinese startup DeepSeek. While most AI cloud providers like Google, AWS and Microsoft now offer the DeepSeek-R1 reasoning model, many AI experts believe that enterprises might be hesitant to use it due to the data it...

While some vendors are working to ensure large language models become better at reasoning, other AI vendors are making them compatible in multiple languages.

This is the year of AI agents.

The last few months of 2024 brought much talk about and expectations for AI agents that can operate autonomously and semi-autonomously. Many vendors have capitalized on the enthusiasm to introduce new agentic products: Salesforce came out with Agentforce, and Microsoft introduced Copilot agents.

With 2025 here, questions about whether the momentum on agents will continue. Some see the agentic hype, an...
