Recorded live at ILTACON 2026, this conversation with Dino Eliopulos, SVP of Innovation at Fulcrum GT, digs into why AI shouldn’t be trusted to grade its own work. Eliopulos explains the case for building external systems that audit AI outputs rather than letting the AI evaluate itself, and how that traceability matters when a firm has to defend a disputed bill or explain how an AI-corrected time entry came to be. He also talks through the discipline behind Fulcrum’s internal startup incubator, how unstructured legal work product like briefs and narratives is finally becoming accessible to AI, and what he tells firms asking how to measure ROI on their AI investments without having a business case in place from the start.
