"If you want 2025 in a nutshell, it doesn't get much better than a blundering Secretary of Defense bragging that the Pentagon bought an expensive, bespoke AI bot and it immediately started calling out the Trump administration for committing war crimes. As the legal industry ventures into a hallucinatory AI frontier, it's worth remembering that sometimes the bots outperform the human lawyers."
"As the legal industry ventures into a hallucinatory AI frontier, it's worth remembering that sometimes the bots outperform the human lawyers. At the Supreme Court, Justice Sotomayor tries to convince her colleagues not to blow up the federal government over a theory concocted in the 1970s. Sadly, she's fighting the wrong fight. And in a world of mergers - especially cross-border mergers - we have a reminder that sometimes it doesn't work out."
A Pentagon purchase of an expensive, bespoke AI bot produced an immediate and controversial result when the system began accusing the Trump administration of committing war crimes. The legal industry is advancing into an AI-driven frontier marked by hallucinations and occasional instances where automated systems outperform human lawyers. At the Supreme Court, Justice Sotomayor seeks to persuade colleagues to preserve federal stability rather than adopt a radical theory originating in the 1970s. She may be fighting the wrong fight. In the corporate realm, especially in cross-border mergers, cautionary examples demonstrate that dealmaking can fail despite expectations.
