Episode 11 : Relentless Discovery: Leveling the David vs. Goliath Battle with Agentic AI
With: Jerry Zhou

“AI is relentless. It’s not necessarily smarter than the greatest lawyer, but if you want it to look through every page of every document, it will do that for you. It dramatically lowers the access to information in a way that makes it not matter if you have an army of folks or a single AI.” — Jerry Zhou
