Someone emailed and asked me why I’m optimistic about the potential A2J applications of the new wave of artificial intelligence tools. I wanted to write something about that anyway since I really want legal tech companies with professional advanced AI tools in development to also work towards A2J beyond “faster pro bono”, so here’s a… Continue reading A2J and AI

Brief Reflections on AALL 2023
<blows dust off of this thing> Hey hey hey! I recently attended the AALL annual meeting for the first time since 2015 and the first time as a non-exhibiting vendor (or about to go work for one) since 2010.
