Join an attorney and AI developer, Aaron Shechet, for a thought-provoking discussion on what artificial intelligence really means for lawyers, law firms, and professional advantage.

This is not a session about chasing the latest tech trend or plugging generic AI tools into old workflows. Instead, it looks at the larger strategic shift AI is creating: a world where access to powerful cognitive leverage is expanding quickly, and where traditional advantages based on training, specialization, and firm structure may no longer function the way they once did.

Using a clear and memorable framework, Aaron will explore how lawyers should think about AI not just as a tool, but as a change in the competitive landscape. The session will examine what AI can already do, where it still falls short, and why the biggest risk for many professionals may be misunderstanding the nature of the shift itself.

This session will explore:

• Why AI is more than a productivity tool
• How AI is changing access to professional capability
• What this shift means for lawyers, firms, and legal services
• Common mistakes professionals make when evaluating AI
• Where human judgment, strategy, and trust still matter most
• How lawyers can approach AI adoption thoughtfully and strategically

This session is designed for lawyers who want to move beyond the hype and think clearly about how AI may reshape legal work, professional value, and competitive advantage in the years ahead.
