because you might have that flexibility, particularly on a federal level.

But generally, I think most global companies are much more concerned about getting clarity globally as to what they can and can't do with this technology.

i think i think the impact of ai on all sorts of white collar knowledge work is going to be absolutely profound there was a paper that was written in the last month or so with anthropic that looked at the impact of ai on professional work and the legal sector in particular was one that's going to be likely to be very highly impacted

I think this comes at a couple of levels.

I mean, clearly our business model as law firms is likely to be impacted because we currently rely on selling our time.

And part of the benefit of these tools should be to increase efficiency.

Yeah, save time.

Save time, we spend less time doing things, and we still get a consistently good output.

But also I think there's a much more profound threat to all professionals, in fact all society, which is the impact of this technology on our critical thinking skills.

And we're often finding that people are starting to outsource their brains to these tools.

It's been happening for a while.

You think about people's inability to navigate when they rely on Google Maps.

Don't know where anything is anymore.

Other technologies like that.

But we're now seeing that play out in professional work as well.

And so there's been some recent research done on that which shows there does appear to be a direct correlation.

And it's, you know, human nature to be a bit lazy and rely on these tools.

But just relying blindly on the output

is dangerous because the underlying large language models can be fraught with bias.

They can hallucinate.
