Episode 100 of InfoGov Hot Seat Live. Host Jim Merrifield and co-host Lee Zidwick talk AI adoption in law firms with Donna Olri (Head of AI, New Code Ireland) and Zach Abramowitz (Founder, Killer Whale Strategies).

* The GPS/Waze analogy for how lawyers should (and shouldn't) trust AI
* EU AI Act Article 4 and what it actually requires from law firms
* Why security certifications (like ISO 9001) should come before you fall in love with a tool
* Building a firm's "legal brain" — memory, institutional knowledge, and bespoke AI
* Norm AI, Manifest OS, and whether AI-native firms are real competition for Big Law
* The gap between AI ambition and organizational readiness
* Information governance's role in the AI data explosion — shadow repositories, metadata, and cleanup
