Elena Favaro VianaGUEST
And without the right lens on how to interpret the contract that's being generated, because I've seen some of these AI contracts, like they look beautiful, like they truly look professional.

Elena Favaro VianaGUEST
But when you start looking under the hood, all you're doing is opening yourself up to unnecessary risk, unnecessary liability.

Maheen BariHOST
