Law.com International recently published an article by C.J. Saretto, Chief Technology Officer at Axiom, exploring why in-house legal teams' AI strategies may be missing the mark—and why that uncertainty is perfectly normal during a period of technological transformation.

Saretto analyzes five distinct AI adoption approaches currently being deployed across the legal industry—from firm-wide mass adoption to targeted task force experimentation—and makes a provocative argument: the quest to identify the "perfect" AI strategy is futile. Drawing parallels to the personal computer revolution of the 1980s, he contends that transformative technology adoption doesn't follow carefully orchestrated plans but rather emerges organically when practitioners encounter their own moment of urgent need, discovering tools that solve immediate problems around speed and capacity rather than abstract concerns about ROI or workflow optimization.
