Welcome back First Gen! In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with Livio De La Cruz — a former software engineer turned non-profit attorney — to unpack one of the most pressing topics in the legal world today: Artificial Intelligence in legal practice.

With his unique, cross-disciplinary background, Livio brings a balanced and insightful perspective to the conversation. Together, he breaks down what is AI, and how AI tools are reshaping legal research, document review, access to justice, and even the attorney-client relationship. But it's not all glowing praise: Livio also highlights the real risks and the limitations of relying on algorithms in human-centered fields like law.
