If I’m being honest, every time I hear someone say they don’t like Copilot because ChatGPT or Claude is just better, I have to wonder about that.

Worth Reading – AI ROI For Law Firms: There’s Not Any
Stephen is also right to point out that the industry really hasn’t figured out how to make this work. Clients increasingly want firms to use AI to reduce billable hours; lawyers don’t want to use technology that makes it harder to meet their billable-hour requirements.
This sounds like an impasse. One that will require some…
Worth Reading – AI is Forcing Organisations to ask Data Governance questions they have avoided for years
