During Legal Innovators California, we experienced a surge of big ideas and stimulating discussions!

At #LIC, David offered valuable insights into how we can advance beyond mere experimentation with AI and fully integrate it into complex, high-value legal work. Despite the excitement surrounding AI since the launch of ChatGPT, David acknowledged the prevailing question of why this technology hasn’t yet revolutionised our field as anticipated. His answer was clear: quality. We also want to extend our heartfelt congratulations to David on his new role as Cooley LLP's first Chief Innovation Officer.
