Written by Alexa Wilcox | Dec 5, 2024 11:22:35 PM

Our guest this episode is Greg Lambert, Chief Knowledge Services Officer at Jackson Walker, co-creator of 3 Geeks and a Law Blog and one half of The Geek in Review podcast, a true OG in the online legal sphere. Some standout points covered:

  • The ease of information sharing within an industry as nuanced as the legal industry
  • The merits of an emerging technologies committee
  • How listening to and understanding the business is the starting point for pinpointing the right solutions to their challenges, and the answer is not always technology!
  • How the AI buzz can spark valuable conversations within the business that otherwise would not have come to be
  • The importance of delving beyond pouring data into LLMs but thinking about how to make use of that data and extract value
  • The tough fact that using Generative AI to handle legal research is one of the hardest things you could do with Generative AI!

Plus, a two minute summary of changes in the macro environment over the last 20 years. And - he *only* received two sales emails from vendors pitching tech during the one hour recording of this session!
