Why every lawyer needs to get their hands dirty with AI

That couldn't be a better segue to my next question, Leo, because you talked about learning.

You are so inspiring in terms of that lifelong learning journey, which frankly, I think all of us have to lean into, especially at a time like this, where law and technology and business continue to evolve.

But can I just ask you, how do you personally continue to learn amidst this evolving environment?

Yeah, I think this really cuts to the core.

Being curious and that translates into intending to keep learning is quintessential.

I think it was always relevant.

But in former times, the problems was that with more experience, there was less need to learn because students There was more of that feeling, okay, I know, and I need to pass it on to the next generation.

This is totally over now.

Everybody needs to start from almost the same starting point and say, okay, just how does this work? First of all, I think we need to take this very seriously and we should go about this very professionally.

And just doing so, the first thing is, I think, keep reading constantly and keep reading.

And that is an important point.

from sources that are not legal, simply because law and lawyers are not driving this.

We are more on the receiving end.

We also become creative, but we are more on the receiving end.

So reading from technology and from those who drive technology is important.

So, for example, I would definitely read what comes from the venture industry, from the technology industry, like TechCrunch, The Verge, or similar publications on a regular basis.

But I would also go to university publications, for example, MIT Technology Review, or then translating that into law, Stanford Law School AI Project, Harvard Law School AI Project.

a technology b what think tanks and university produce i would less go to legal publications like all the legal directories and so on simply because well i don't know whether they provide so much the depth but reading only takes you so far so then there are the conversation we touched about this i think you need to share experience with other people it's not so much that we just provide knowledge to others that but rather we we we share that journey But third and perhaps most importantly, and that is also something for the more senior people or elderly people like me that need to realize you need to get your hands dirty.

There is no way of just doing this theoretically and think, oh, okay, I know it.

Like you do everything else.

You read about it and then you talk about it.

This is not how this works.

You need to get into the models.

You need to work with them.

And then you need to share experience with red taping or whatever you have.
