Question two is asking, what are firms getting wrong about AI? You can talk about your own firm or others, but nobody's charting a perfect course, are they?
4:27
No, not at all.

No, I think, I think one of the biggest mistakes I see, and it's, it's one we've had to work on ourselves, is leadership deciding what AI tools the firm needs to be rolling out and trying to do it from a top-down standpoint.

We've had staff-led AI committees, mostly younger team members, bringing us what's actually useful.

31:29
can be very short and not listen.
31:31
And if you take it in a little bit, listen, you can probably start to think how you can,
31:48
That's a constant challenge.
31:50
I know.
31:51
I would say the biggest opportunity too is one, designations allow for opportunity, right? And I think that's one of the things that we look at.
