By Antti Innanen. Lawyers are famously allergic to buzzwords. So, when someone mentions ‘vibing’ with AI, red pens come out fast. But Vibe Drafting, a term borrowed from AI researcher Andrej Karpathy’s vibe coding, offers more than a catchy label. It introduces a practical mental model for how lawyers can work with AI while keeping human expertise at the centre. The Real Problem: Outdated Mental Models Many lawyers treat AI like a glorified database or a search engine. They issue commands to the machine: ‘Fetch this, get that, search this.’ But this is not how AI works. That kind of prompting leads to hallucinations, inconsistencies, and generic results.…

Demand for AI computing in China is soaring, driven by the rapid growth of AI-powered applications like DeepSeek, now…
Emerging technology, when first being presented to the public-at-large, is bound to get people fearful and protective of the status quo. Such is the current case with AI and its practical application in multiple industries, particularly in the space of visual media arts, but rather than turn away, renowned filmmaker and technological innovator James Cameron is choosing to lean in. Last year, he joined the board of the generative AI company Stability AI and during a recent interview on the “Boz to the Future” podcast, he explained how the tech’s ability to shorten VFX workflow could truly be a game-changer…

One pressing question at the artificial-intelligence (AI) summit in Paris this week was this: is Mistral AI’s assistant a cat, or a chat? Called Le Chat and developed by a French startup as a competitor to ChatGPT, it launched as a smartphone app on February 6th. To the English speaker, Le Chat looks like a French twist on AI chat, which it conducts in English (and other languages). Yet at the jamboree President Emmanuel Macron plugged it using a soft “sh”, rendering Le Chat distinctly feline. Arthur Mensch, Mistral’s 32-year-old boss, says his baby is indeed four-legged. Look carefully at…
