About this episode
AI Won't Replace Lawyers—But Lawyers Using AI Will | Prof. Whitney Stefko
From litigator to tech entrepreneur to Ford's legal innovation leader, Professor Whitney Stefko shares how AI is transforming legal practice—and why someone recently mistook her for an AI avatar.
In this episode: • Why the biggest legal tech revolution is happening in everyday tools like Microsoft Copilot, not custom solutions • How AI can predict case outcomes (but still needs human judgment)• The surprising ways AI is expanding access to justice • What law students should do NOW to prepare for an AI-driven legal market • Why Professor Stefko taught herself to code—and what it taught her about legal innovation
Professor Stefko is Director of Policy & Legal Operations at Ford Motor Company and teaches "AI in Legal Operations and Innovation" at ASU Law.
