Hold The Gushing: The Clio AI Announcement Doesn't Necessarily Mean Game Over - Above the Law
"As I previously discussed, Clio offered the blockbuster announcement that its AI tools would now work not only on the internal data of a firm but also on external data like cases and statutes. Clio's approach essentially lets customers use one vendor for its AI needs since that vendor can supply the tools for use with internal and external data. This all under one roof one stop concept has everyone gushing as if the world has completely changed and firms will flock to Clio."
"But I always get suspicious when everyone seems to conclude that a tech development has changed the world right now and forever more. As Roy Amara famously said: "We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run." And right now, the Clio announcement is less than a week old. It might be a tad bit early to declare game over."
"According to the TR press release, DeepJudge, founded by former Google AI researchers, enables professionals to use AI tools and prompts across internal knowledge bases.

Clio announced AI tools that operate on both firm internal data and external legal materials such as cases and statutes, offering a one-vendor solution for AI across those data sources. The one-stop approach promises simplicity by removing the need to vet multiple vendors or manage fragile partnerships, potentially reducing decision paralysis and improving agility. Skepticism remains about declaring immediate, permanent change given the announcement's recent timing and the tendency to overestimate short-term effects and underestimate long-term impact. Thomson Reuters partnered with DeepJudge, whose platform enables use of AI tools and prompts across internal knowledge bases and integrates with CoCounsel Legal to unify firm know-how with Thomson Reuters content.
