AI is moving faster than most businesses can keep up with. But are we actually ready for what comes next?

In Episode 2 of The Next Precedent, Shoaib sits down with Ebrahim "EbT" Tayob to explore AI adoption, technology, innovation and the challenges businesses face as AI becomes part of everyday professional life.

We discuss whether Law Firms should be embracing AI now, what holds organisations back, and whether concerns about AI replacing people are justified.

We also look at what a modern Law Firm's technology stack should look like and the discuss the consequences of not investing in the stack.

The episode includes a surprising trip into history, looking at the Ottoman Empire's experience with the internal combustion engine and what it can teach us about how organisations respond to transformative technology today.

And, of course, we have a bit of fun along the way. EbT suggest we put AI to the test and discovers what happens when you give it his voice and let it loose with a very questionable Bollywood accent.

Is AI ready for the real world, or are we moving faster than businesses can adapt?
