Eleanor Lightbody, CEO of Luminance, explains how generative AI transformed legal work by providing 10x improvements over traditional machine learning systems, enabling end-to-end contract automation rather than just document review. She emphasizes that trustworthy AI in legal contexts requires multiple models checking each other's work to ensure consensus, with systems reverting to human oversight when confidence thresholds aren't met, particularly crucial for high-stakes deals and regulatory compliance. Lightbody discusses how AI agents will evolve beyond assistants to proactively complete work and seek approval, fundamentally changing how professionals interact with software and potentially disrupting traditional workflows while creating new opportunities.

Interview #65 Tanmai Gopal, CEO at Hasura
Join Tanmai Gopal, CEO at Hasura, as he discusses the current state of RAG and AI tooling challenges. Gopal explains that RAG has cooled down from its peak popularity, noting that while it works for low-hanging fruit use cases, it fails in mission-critical scenarios where good enough is not the threshold and precision is required. He describes RAG's fundamental limitation as not understanding context, comparing it to using a single hammer for everything, and advocates for agentic approaches that combine RAG with other tools. Gopal predicts that AI reliability will become the dominant topic by year's end, as he observes that newer models have become skilled at convincing themselves and users that they're correct when they're actually hallucinating.
