Key Quotes:

“The reasoning side is of course the most important, and we know the bigger you are, the better you actually deliver reasoning. If you are trained on this legal reasoning side in the first place.”
“It's always about humans against machines, right? What did the human, what did the machine,right? Instead of comparing it again, okay, we should, we need a third group of humans plus machines, which can be faster and accurate.”
Generally, privacy seems to be like a soft term, right? But in the legal industry, it has to be given, right? And this is not only in laws that everybody knows, like GDPR or so. But this actually has a much, much higher value because we have. For example, in Germany, professional secrecy. So professional secrecy is, regulated, under criminal law. And, we have that in Austria, Switzerland, Italy, and France. And, that actually means that, if you essentially share legal data involving multiple parties, and you share this or, publish this somewhere where it should not be that this actually is a criminal act.”
