In the podcast, TRI's Zach Warren and Bryce Engelland delve into the concept of tech debt and its implications for the legal industry, discussing how tech debt arises from short-term technological decisions and the importance of managing it to avoid long-term costs.

The world of technology is rapidly transforming the corporate tax sector — but are tax departments ready for it? Zach Warren, of the Thomson Reuters Institute, sits down with Cheria Coram, a corporate tax technologist and chair of the Tax Executives Institute's Tax Technology Committee, to discuss what they learned from this year's TEI Tax Technology Seminar. In the podcast, the two break down how nailing the cupcake of tech fundamentals is so important before applying the sprinkles of new tools, why tax professionals should adopt a growth mindset and focus on leading through change, and how meeting new global tax regulations all comes down to data readiness.
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is set to make a splash in the legal industry, but its introduction not only raises practice of law questions — it's set to have a major impact on billing and pricing practices. On this week's episode of the Thomson Reuters Institute (TRI) Insights podcast, Bill Josten and Zach Warren, both of TRI, examine GenAI's impact on legal billing, including why we're not seeing the impact on time sheets quite yet (but will soon), whether GenAI will finally be what kills the billable hour, and if a $1 million legal problem now takes 15 minutes to solve, where does all that value go?
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is here — and now, it's on professionals in the legal, tax, government, and risk & fraud sectors to adopt it. On this week's Thomson Reuters Institute Insights podcast, Zach Warren, manager of Tech & Innovation content for the Thomson Reuters Institute, speaks with Joel Hron, the head of Thomson Reuters Labs, — live from Stanford University's CodeX FutureLaw conference — about the newly published Generative AI in Professional Services report, published by Thomson Reuters, and what GenAI's future looks like from a technological perspective.

In the latest Thomson Reuters Institute podcast, our resident experts Natalie Runyon, Zach Warren, and Rabihah Butler share their 2024 predictions for employers and professionals within the legal, tax & accounting, and risk & compliance industries — with a special eye toward environmental, social & governance (ESG) issues, regulatory developments, and the impact of artificial intelligence — in the first part of our premier podcast of 2024.
By all accounts, 2023 was the year of generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI), giving some organizations a major boost while catching others blindsided without plans or procedures. For a few truly forward-thinking organizations, however, it's already time to look beyond Gen AI to start planning for what's next. In this week's Thomson Reuters Institute (TRI) Insights podcast, Zach Warren, head of technology content development for TRI, talks with Jeff Wong, Global Chief Innovation Officer at EY, about what he sees as the next big innovations in the market that professionals should know about now.
The corporate tax world has seen a lot of change in recent years between budgetary and hiring crunches and regulatory shifts. There's one area, however, in which many corporate tax departments still see a lot of room to grow: technology. Fresh off the first edition of the Corporate Tax Technology Report, published by the Thomson Reuters Institute (TRI) and Tax Executives Institute, TRI's Zach Warren dives into the report with Todd Lard, Tax Counsel at Tax Executives Institute, to explore why so many tax departments categorize their tech maturity as reactive, whether these departments have the personnel to carry out modern tech implementations, and how smaller departments with tiny tech budgets can do more with less. The podcast also examines the artificial intelligence (AI) question: Where does generative AI actually fit into the day-to-day work of corporate tax professionals?
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) holds a lot of potential to transform law, upending everything from how lawyers do their daily work to how law firms and clients interact and conduct business. However, that begs the question: Where does the actual person fit into all of this? In the latest Thomson Reuters Institute Insights podcast, recorded live at the Generative AI & Emerging Technology Forum in New York City, the Thomson Reuters Institute's Zach Warren sat down with Wendy Butler Curtis, Chief Innovation Officer at Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe, to discuss why it's humans and AI rather than humans versus AI, how Orrick is working to prioritize mental health while introducing innovative technology, and where she sees generative AI actually making an impact in the future of the legal profession.
Every law firm has a strategy to serve clients and win business, and every law firm also works with some sort of technology in today's digital world. But how often does that overall strategy take law firms' digital initiatives into account? Recent research from the Thomson Reuters Institute (TRI) found that most law firms are satisfied with how they're tying their firm's digital transformation to its overall strategy — but in practice, only about half actually have a fully realized digital strategy at the C-suite level, and many of those have been instituted only in the past couple of years. In the latest TRI Insights Podcast, Zach Warren, TRI's technology and innovation insights leader and Lucy Leach, director of research strategy at TRI, discuss why many law firms think they're above average (but not perfect) on digital strategy, how clients are too often left out of the process, and what the rise of generative artificial intelligence means for digital strategy's future.
In this week's Thomson Reuters Institute Insights podcast, our technology content leader Zach Warren dives into the generative artificial intelligence (AI) craze within law firms, speaking with Kelley Drye & Warren chief information officer Judi Flournoy. As a law firm CIO with years of legal technology experience, Flournoy has seen tech trends come and go. However, generative AI and ChatGPT isn't just a continuation of past AI initiatives, she believes, but a true game-changer. That's why she's encouraging those within her firm to get acquainted early. “They need to understand this technology early so they understand where it's going to lead them later,” Flournoy explains. In the podcast, she discusses not only the use cases she sees now, but her prognostications for law firms' future, why generative AI will be here “faster than anyone realizes,” and why one AI is reminiscent of the movie Her.
In the new Thomson Reuters Institute Insights podcast, Zach Warren, technology specialist for the Thomson Reuters Institute, revisits the "2023 Alternative Legal Services Provider (ALSP) Report" with Jim Jones, Senior Fellow at the Center on Ethics in the Legal Profession at Georgetown University. Now a few months out from the report's initial release, Jim and Zach explore what surprised them from the results, including how quickly the ALSP market has grown in such a short amount of time, and how law firm attitudes towards ALSPs are shifting.
