A new study from researchers at the University of Minnesota and University of Michigan law schools seems to provide the first empirical evidence that AI tools can consistently improve the quality of legal analysis across various tasks. We speak with Daniel Schwarcz, professor at the University of Minnesota Law School, and Kari Endries, assistant secretary and managing counsel at Chevron, to find out more about the implications for governance professionals.

In this episode of IR Voice, we catch up with IR Magazine's head of content Steve Wade and events editor Tim Human to find out about the latest goings-on at our recent events in New York. First, Steve tells us about what was covered at the corporate reporting forum, where the EU's flagship sustainability reporting regulation CSRD was at the forefront of discussions. In the aftermath of Donald Trump's election victory, however, the future of corporate ESG reporting was still somewhat unsure. Then Tim gave us the lowdown from the AI and technology forum held a few weeks later. He tells us about some of the emerging ways that IR teams are using AI, and reveals how some new workshop formats explored some immediate ways that IROs can use the technology in their programs.
