Lovely London event with Reena SenGupta of #RSGI at the @financialtimes.com FT Innovative Lawyers event!

Estonia's FutureLaw Conference was wonderful — filled with old friends and new ones. Tallinn is lovely, and its people are great hosts. Last year was a joy, and this year might have even been better. Thanks to Team #FutureLaw25 for an excellent meeting of smart legal minds!

OpenAI's Applied #AI person's insights — which apply to #Legal:

• Markets reward #scarcity (scarcity = valuable)

• #Agents commoditize "doing tasks" — formerly scarce

• After that, what's scarce? Orchestration of:
• Compute
• Capital
• Access to #Data
• Human/Expert #Judgment

Another study showing that #LLMs are more persuasive than humans:

- GPT-4 improved persuasion 64.4% of time
- 81.2% higher post-debate agreement
- 95% confidence interval

Study used GPT-4: Reasoning models = even better? 🤔

WISDOM: "AI will help you free up time"

JORDAN:
- Workers with "free time" get laid off
- AI = gift of time — so you can improve

- ... *client* dev(existing clients)

I can now text using Starlink! The question: Do I put myself into the middle of nowhere — and in harm's way — to test it? 🤔

Turns out o1 was close — giving a narrower timeframe, but just a few weeks off:

For context, here's the original photo.

1. How would a human "reason" with this question?
2. How does Gemini's response differ?

If it looks like a duck. And quacks like reasoning...

Anybody who claims that #LLMs lack #reasoning capabilities, since they're just "next-word generators": Google #Gemini, in this example, is clearly doing reasoning — or at least as much "reasoning" as typical humans.

"Gemini, based on this photo, on what date was this photo taken?" Nailed it.

Excited to give the #CLE: "Leveraging #LLMs in Law Departments" — at Minnesota's #BrewingtheFuture seminar — alongside #legaltech and #legalservices luminaries from Ford, Cargill, Trimble, Norton Rose Fulbright, Greene Espel, and Elevate.
