This is precisely how two seemingly different forces shaping our world function: artificial intelligence and the legal profession. Chatbots that instantly answer our questions and the boardrooms where the fates of people and companies are decided represent only the tip of that iceberg.
But what lies beneath the water? What forms the foundation of these complex systems we increasingly depend on?
Understanding this submerged foundation is crucial not only for using these tools, but also for critically evaluating and shaping them as a society. Through the iceberg analogy, we will see how a “simple” AI response or a “final” legal document actually relies on a web of hidden processes.
This article is a journey into the depths—we will attempt to dive below the surface and illuminate the hidden layers that enable this “magic.”
