Worth Reading – The AI Strategy Divide in Law: Thomson Reuters Survey Says Strategic AI Adoption Is the Key to AI Success
The challenge, of course, is who is driving the strategy?

They don’t realize that they haven’t been getting a clear direction. They assume there is some skill or knowledge they are missing. Where do you go when there’s a skill you need? To Training and Development!
