Chief AI & KM Officer Colleen Nihill was quoted in a Thomson Reuters article discussing the transformative role of agentic AI in the legal profession with a focus on Thomson Reuters new platform, CoCounsel Legal, highlighting how this technology goes beyond traditional AI prompting by integrating reasoning, transparency, and guided workflows that allow legal professionals to delegate complex tasks with more trust and efficiency. As part of CoCounsel Legal, Deep Research, grounded in Westlaw content, stands out by providing value through transparency.
Of Deep Research’s capabilities, Colleen stated, “Thomson Reuters latest integration of advanced AI models into its core platforms marks an encouraging step forward in legal technology. Deep Research stands out for its ability to reason through legal questions rather than simply return search results. When faced with a complex issue, it can generate a research plan, explain its logic, and deliver a structured report. This level of transparency is essential to maintaining the oversight and trust lawyers need to confidently adopt AI in practice.”
