Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Own the Graph: Stephen Costigan on Private AI, Knowledge Infrastructure, and Law Firm Advantage
Q: What would you say are the primary differentiators between Atlas AI and other knowledge management tools in the legal market?
Atlas AI focuses on automating data curation and enabling firms to build differentiated products by owning a curated knowledge graph rather than competing with vendors on end-user features. The platform emphasizes ontology ownership, structured data, and private—on-premises style governance that preserves confidentiality.
Own the Graph: Stephen Costigan on Private AI, Knowledge Infrastructure, and Law Firm Advantage
Q: What kind of expertise is needed internally to maintain a private AI infrastructure, and is a large team still required?
The expectation is that in the near future, firms can manage private AI with a smaller, adaptable team—existing knowledge management roles can be repurposed for curation and management. Automation and agent-based management reduce the need for large, specialized teams.
Own the Graph: Stephen Costigan on Private AI, Knowledge Infrastructure, and Law Firm Advantage
Q: How much work does a firm need to put into cleaning and curating their data before Atlas AI can generate reliable insights?
Cost and effort can be significantly lower than commonly feared; agent-led curation speeds up and automates data cleaning, with continuous updates. A light human-in-the-loop review for low-confidence extractions helps maintain quality without an extensive, long-term data-cleaning program.
Own the Graph: Stephen Costigan on Private AI, Knowledge Infrastructure, and Law Firm Advantage
Q: Stephen, can you start by giving our listeners an overview of Atlas AI and what led you to build a platform focused specifically on firm-hosted private legal AI?
Atlas AI turns a firm's documents and matter history into a private curated knowledge graph owned by the firm, with added capabilities like research, drafting, review, and enterprise search. Stephen emphasizes a background in enterprise software for AmLaw 50 firms and the motivation to give firms control and ownership of their data, avoiding the trade-off between speed and confidentiality that comes with outsourcing to external vendors.
Legal AI, Trust, and Agents: Joel Hron on Thomson Reuters, Anthropic, and the Future of CoCounsel
Q: What should legal professionals be preparing for as agents become more capable and start doing real work?
Professionals should think about governance, architecture principles, and high test automation to ensure accountability; they should prepare to build systems that elicit transparency and trust around AI-generated outputs.
