In this episode, we cut through the noise to give court leaders an honest, grounded view of where the sector really stands on AI adoption, what’s working right now, and the practical first steps any organization can take today, regardless of size or budget.From establishing an AI governance policy to getting data organized to piloting small, high-impact use cases, our guests share the real-world playbook courts are using to move forward without overextending. If you’ve felt behind with AI, this episode will both reassure you and give you a clear path forward.
