    152 - Will AI bring law firms abundance or unmanageable disruption?

    My guest today is Quentin Solt, who is an AI research and implementation expert and a lawyer. Quentin has spent his professional life helping enterprises and entrepreneurs navigate complex transactions, from leading corporate finance teams in top UK and US law firms to taking a tech company public and floating a small investment fund. He’s also worked closely with start-ups, scale-ups, and global brands, and along the way, he’s backed purpose-driven ventures that align business with deeper human values. What makes Quentin’s perspective so compelling today is how he connects his deep experience in law, technology, and finance to the profound social transitions we’re all facing. As work and life are reshaped by embodied AI, Quentin is focused on how we prepare society for change, urging policymakers, technologists, and communities to engage thoughtfully when implementing AI. Today, what we’re covering is how technology affects our sense of worth, purpose, and connection, and what it means to thrive in an age where tech promises abundance but also brings displacement and disruption.
