Beyond his practice advice, panelist John Rosenthal took a wide lens to the systemic disruption AI could unleash across the legal industry. He suggested that large law firms will need to critically evaluate AI's implications for staffing, revenue, risk, pricing, and more. Corporate legal departments may bring more work in-house powered by their own AI tools. And the technology landscape will consolidate as some startups fail and a few dominate.

He projected thorny eDiscovery issues around requiring companies to run internal AI systems to generate new information.
