Building legal AI that lawyers can trust with Alexander Kardos Nyheim, Thomson Reuters

Drawing on his experience founding Safe Sign Technologies and now leading machine learning research at Thomson Reuters, Alexander explains why general purpose AI's emphasis on fluency is no proper match for the finesse of legal drafting. He explores the importance of domain‑specific training, authoritative legal data, and models grounded in legal reasoning rather than surface‑level coherence. From the role of foundational models to the future of legal‑specific AI, this conversation offers practical insight for anyone navigating the adoption of AI in legal practice.
