[Ben Schifman @BenSchifman]

Little known fact:

Only three companies have a comprehensive collection of US court cases, statutes and regulations.

And they charge accordingly!

Seems like something that should be available for free as a public good.

Extremely thorough and clear piece about AI adoption in the legal industry, and what the actual barriers and challenges are. Way more writing about AI should be exactly like this.

Our latest Diffuse AI piece (ft. @charlesxjyang @clarabcollier) from Sean Harrington @SeanLovesBooks asks: why hasn't AI transformed the legal profession yet?

Sean covers:
- The data moat of legal databases
- Organizational barriers in law firms
- The billable hour and how lawyers think about efficiency
- Open questions for the next phase of AI in law

[Sean A. Harrington @SeanLovesBooks]

Surveys claim up to 79% of attorneys use AI at their firms. That number measures exposure, not integration.
My piece in the inaugural issue of Diffuse AI explains why the gap is structural and what we can do about it.

Here's the long awaited essay on AI and the associated culture war that I've been promising for over a year. The argument is quite condensed, and could be elaborated in any number of ways, but I hope people will find it interesting.
