Why Build a $500 Million Branch When AI Has Already Grown Past It?

It is insane to invest $500 million in building proprietary AI today. AI is developing at an extreme speed. What you build for hundreds of millions may be obsolete before it is fully deployed. The models will become cheaper, faster and more capable—and today’s “competitive advantage” will rapidly become a commodity. A law firm should own its data, knowledge, workflows and relationship with the client. But it does not need to own the AI itself.
