One-of-a-Kind Reportage

Unlike other publications covering AI and law—think dry trade journals or tech-heavy blogs with little legal depth—AI Counsel News & Podcast stands alone with its insider’s edge and global pulse.

While outlets like Legaltech News focus on U.S.-centric vendor updates or Artificial Lawyer lean into broad industry trends, Cyrus Johnson delivers a rare blend of practitioner insight, startup savvy, and a worldwide lens.

No one else catches the “dirty little secrets” of AI tech (like prompt pollution) with such clarity or ties breaking news—like Harvey AI’s $3 billion valuation or Grok 3’s compute leap—directly to what lawyers need to know today.

The podcast adds an unmatched layer, weaving Cyrus’s 23 years of legal experience into conversations that cut through hype with wit and wisdom.

This isn’t just reporting; it’s a frontline dispatch from the AI-law revolution, crafted by someone who’s lived both sides of the equation.
