2023: "AI will replace lawyers." 2026: Lawyers use AI about an hour a day. The change is happening now, we are in the middle of it. Had the pleasure to discuss the status quo in Legal AI with Prof. Holger Schmidt in today's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: How AI-slob is giving lawyers more work instead of less, why lawyers use our AI-Assistant BEAMON AI for an hour a day, and what forces are shaping the legal market. A few takeaways: - AI is becoming infrastructure. For many lawyers, it's already part of the daily toolkit. Learning from more than 15.000 users we see: AI has moved onto the desktop. - AI efficiency gains are still being eaten up by organizational change and culture. - There won't be one legal AI to rule them all. The "last mile" remains highly specialized. - Unpopular opinion: AI creates more work for lawyers. There is more to do, not less. Especially because AI-slob is eating up the effeciency gains. - Knowledge management may be the biggest winner. Lawyers are finally unlocking years of accumulated know-how. - And with this: Human expertise isn't becoming less important. In many cases, it's becoming more important. Thank you Prof. Holger Schmidt, for the extensive conversation & discussion.
