#1701109: PODCAST: The AI that's making lawyers 100x better (and it's not ChatGPT)
| Description: |
A lawyer uploads a 200-page case file. Seconds later, an AI agent is reading precedents, following citation trails, and building arguments the lawyer hadn't even considered. This is Deep Research, Thomson Reuters' new AI system that just launched after testing with 1,200+ legal professionals. In our latest podcast episode, we sit down with Joel Hron, CTO at Thomson Reuters, who reveals how they built AI agents for the highest-stakes industry imaginable: law. (1:31) Deep Research vs ChatGPT's version: Why legal AI needs to understand jurisdiction, precedent, and when cases overrule each other—not just search the web. (8:05) AI as a lawyer's superpower: How customers turned 10-hour research projects into 10 minutes—and discovered legal arguments they hadn't considered. (10:49) The 4,500 domain experts secret: How Thomson Reuters embedded legal expertise directly into the AI's reasoning process. (19:06) The generation-verification loop: Andrej Karpathy's framework in action—how to spin the human-AI collaboration flywheel as fast as possible. (24:49) The “BS Detector”: Thomson Reuters' internal tool that validates whether legal arguments are real or hallucinated (yes, that's what they actually call it). (31:48) Why Joel's excited about open source: How proprietary content + open models = competitive advantage. (34:08) Building professional-grade AI: Why a 150-year-old company can't “move fast and break things” (and what they do instead). (50:28) Joel's personal AI stack: Why the CTO uses Claude Code as his personal assistant (and not just for coding). (54:29) The #1 skill for the AI age: Adaptability trumps everything else—”You don't design something that's future-proof. You learn how to adapt really quickly.” Bottom line: The best engineers became 100x better with AI coding tools. Now the same transformation is hitting law. Joel predicts the best attorneys who master these tools will become 100x more powerful than before. |
