The Great AI Debate, with Nikki Shaver and Brian Inkster

A special edition of #theSlot, featuring Nikki Shaver and Brian Inkster, in a head to head debate on the motion:

“Generative AI already enhances the delivery of legal services, and will revolutionize it within the next decade.”

These two personalities of legal innovation, are well known for their opposing views on the usefulness and impact of generative AI in legal work. Having seen them clash several times on LinkedIn and Twitter, we thought we’d invite them to pit their wits, experiences and beliefs against each other, through the lens of three core questions:

🍒 The short view: Is genAI already useful, or still just a toy?

🍋 The long view: Is genAI just another hype cycle, or is it different this time?

💎 In the meantime…: Buy or build your own?

We hope you enjoy these 45 minutes of hard debating (and some AI humour at the end). We’d love you to engage here or with the LinkedIn post to share your views!
