ComputerWorld.com reported that “In the big-spending history of technology, there’s never been a time like this, when so many companies are spending so many hundreds of billions of dollars on a still-to-be proven technology — generative AI.” The August 27, 2025 article entitled “Could Microsoft’s AI billions go up in smoke?” (https://www.computerworld.com/article/4045573/could-microsofts-ai-billions-go-up-in-smoke.html) included
A recent survey by DeepL, an AI translation service, reveals a risk of continued hallucinations and inaccuracies with the use of AI. Spoiler alert: 96% of those surveyed are using AI, 71% are using it without approval of their organization (aka shadow use) mainly to deliver work faster.
Why It Hit Home
The survey
As I continue to play catch up on some of the news announced during ILTACON, the e-discovery company Everlaw made two notable announcements there: The expansion from private to open beta of its AI Deep Dive, a tool that can answer complex questions about large document collections, and its having secured FedRAMP certification for its

In February 2024, I wrote here about the launch of Bench IQ, a company that is using generative AI to provide comprehensive insights into the decision-making patterns of judges — based not just on their written rulings, but also their rulings from the bench and other data.

Challenge #1: Resistance to change
Compared to many other fast-moving industries, the legal profession tends to be resistant to change, AI-powered tools included. Legal professionals tend to be meticulous Type A individuals, and the apparent unpredictability and novelty of AI-powered tools can be difficult to accept. On top of this, many in the legal industry
ComputerWorld.com reported that “AI-enabled cheating has surged, particularly in virtual technical job interviews. Would-be job candidates increasingly use AI tools off-camera to feed them answers, such as responses to coding challenges, and in some cases turning to deepfake technology to impersonate applicants.” The August 26, 2025 article entitled “To counter AI cheating, companies bring back
