Squiz Series: AI agents and the law

About this episode

The episode features an interview with Peter Lee discussing AI's impact on law and workplace resilience in Australia.

Artificial intelligence is the topic of a lot of conversations at the moment - and recent research commissioned by Minderoo Foundation shows that us Aussies have a bunch of concerns. So thanks to Minderoo, we’ve been able to talk to some of those experts in a special Squiz Series of podcasts on AI. For part two, we’ve spoken to Peter Lee, who has been working at the centre of AI and the law for longer than most of us have probably known what it is. He’s a partner at the international law firm Simmons and Simmons, and he talks about how we can stay resilient in Australia when it comes to data, how we as workers can try and thrive in the age of AI rather than get left behind - and the ways in which AI can and can’t organise your haircut appointment.
