I was recently approached by a lawyer who wants to automate legal workflows. “Intriguing” I thought, given the advancements of LLMs / agentic AI + the huge funding rounds I keep seeing in LegalTech. I eventually had to give the project a pass because I didn’t believe I would be able to get AI to consistently produce accurate outputs, EVEN IF the inputs stayed the same. Couldn’t imagine building a deterministic system that scales in the legal domain…
