The episode discusses the reliability of AI tools in improving legal analysis, featuring insights from legal experts.

We speak with Daniel Schwarcz, professor at the University of Minnesota Law School, and Kari Endries, assistant secretary and managing counsel at Chevron, to find out more about the implications for governance professionals.
