Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Who Governs Big Tech? Hannah Bloch-Wehba on AI Regulation, Police Surveillance, and Public Accountability
Q: What is the single biggest change that you see coming that you think we need to prepare for in the next few years?
A significant shift will be ongoing changes in higher education and the broader information ecosystem due to rapid AI-driven transformations, with universities and research funding models adapting to new realities while journalism and public knowledge production seek independent, protected funding structures to avoid political capture.
Brad Blickstein on Private Equity Thinking, AI Pricing, and the Law Firm Business Model
Q: How should COOs approach the tension between the desire to innovate with AI and the risk of disrupting established partner dynamics and revenue models?
COOs should act as consensus-builders, use data to justify changes, and prioritize battles that yield the most leverage; involve partners in the process early, set clear expectations about investments and outcomes, and pursue value-centered changes such as capable AI-enabled processes that deliver observable client benefits while protecting long-term profitability.
Brad Blickstein on Private Equity Thinking, AI Pricing, and the Law Firm Business Model
Q: What does it mean to professionalize pricing, and how should firms begin implementing it without disrupting partners' incentives?
Professionalizing pricing means introducing formal pricing governance, data-backed pricing decisions, and transparent value propositions; firms should start with selective, high-impact changes, build credence with clients through measurable value, and gradually scale up across the portfolio rather than attempting a grand, all-at-once overhaul.
Brad Blickstein on Private Equity Thinking, AI Pricing, and the Law Firm Business Model
Q: Brad, what's true today that wasn't true a year ago in terms of AI costs and adoption in legal workflows?
There's a heightened awareness around AI costs, with some providers moving to consumption-based pricing and the realization that token costs can dramatically affect the total expense; firms and clients are starting to scrutinize the real cost of AI usage and planning for a more disciplined, value-based investment rather than assuming AI is always cheaper than human labor.
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.
