A Lawyer's Honest Opinion on AI Replacing Him

from We Live to Build

What happens when a lawyer helps build an AI that could one day make his own job obsolete? I sat down with Ryaan Ibtisam, a practicing lawyer and the Co-Founder of Symphony AI, to get his candid take. He gives a lawyer's honest opinion on AI replacing him, discussing his initial fear of the technology and his prediction that law firms may hire 80% fewer junior associates in the future. We also cover how their specialized AI can close a funding round in under an hour and the surprising differences between East Coast and West Coast clients.
