Guest Quotes

“I think that AI can do a lot of the background, quote, unquote, office admin work really well, right? I think if you're a Junior Associate and you're like, okay, I need to pull every single fair use case in California that relates to, say, copyright infringement and mutual composition, great, let's use AI. But then when you start thinking about, well, ‘how do I convince a jury of my peers to actually take my argument, or how do I convince the person across a deal for me to bend on this point or that point?’ That is something that is almost just a human thing. That'll be very hard for AI to replicate.” - Dhruva Krishna
