I worry about the repercussions of AI replacing junior lawyers. Not just because of how it will affect them but because the business of law has always depended on being able to train young lawyers on-the-job.

A Tidal Wave of Disruption

In the rush to embed AI into their practice, most law firms have not realised how disruptive this could be to the way in which the business of law has traditionally operated. If we replace junior lawyers with AI that can do their work, how will we train the senior lawyers we need?

Privacy laws are designed to give individuals the agency to decide what can or cannot be done with their personal data. But that is not as useful as you might think when it comes to networked privacy.

The Business End of the DPDP Act

India's new data protection law is simple and principle based. But it will require companies big and small to make radical changes to the way they operate.

If we believe the future of money is digital we should be able to tokenise everything. All assets will have their own digital ledgers and by unifying them all we will be able to build a new framework for commerce.

The Unified Ledger

If we believe that the future of money will be completely digital it will be possible for us to tokenise everything. This means that we will be able to build a digital ledger for different assets and by unifying these ledgers build a new framework for commerce.

The existential angst that we feel when faced with a new diruptive technology is not new. Which is why the AI revolution that is upon us now need not be feared - but used as an opportunity to re-skill ourselves.
