Christopher Penn writes one of the few newsletters I read weekly. I have no idea how I ended up on his mailing list but I’ll never opt out despite the rainbow “Unsubscribe here” buttons he prominently displays.

Christopher provides well-researched, thought-provoking commentary on all topics related to generative AI. Like recent guests Pradeep Menon and Ken Wenger Christopher doesn’t settle for soundbite-level commentary and he often shares unpopular opinions backed up with data.

Christopher is the Co-Founder and Chief Data Scientist at TrustInsights.ai. He’s a six-time IBM Champion in IBM Data and AI, a Brand24 Top 100 Digital Marketer, an Onalytica Top 100 AI in Marketing influencer, and co-host of the award-winning Marketing Over Coffee marketing podcast. He is also the author of two dozen marketing books. His list of accolades and accomplishments goes on for days.
Listen and learn...

The number one question Christopher asks data-driven marketers
What has surprised Christopher most about the capabilities of LLMs
Why the letter to pause AI was "dumb"
The right way to remove bias and hate speech from LLMs
Open source vs. closed source AI... and how it's related to making pizza
Are we ready for AI vendors to censor content?
Christopher's predictions for how all enterprise software will incorporate generative AI
Why Christopher continues to hone his bow and arrow skills

Why traditional OCR missed the mark, and how combining visual and linguistic context unlocked a new frontier in document intelligence. The evolution from data extraction to true financial analysis, and why domain knowledge is essential for reading statements like income reports. The risks of LLM hallucinations, especially with numerical data, and why accuracy still requires combining techniques across model types.

337: Will AI automate legal work? The future of lawyers with Scott Stevenson, Spellbook CEO. 38:45

Scott Stevenson is the CEO and co-founder of Spellbook, a legal tech company transforming how attorneys review contracts with AI. Since launching in 2018, Spellbook’s AI copilot has been adopted by more than 1,700 legal teams and helps review over a million contracts annually. Scott recently led the company through a $20 million Series A backed by Inovia Capital, Thomson Reuters Ventures, The Legaltech Fund, and others. Before Spellbook, he founded Mune, a startup at the intersection of music and technology, and holds a BS in Computer Engineering from Memorial University in Newfoundland and Labrador. In this conversation, we discuss: Scott Stevenson’s journey from building electronic instruments to launching Spellbook, the world’s first generative AI copilot for lawyers. Why contracts, not court cases, were the ideal entry point for legal AI and how Spellbook now helps 3,000+ legal teams review over a million contracts a year. How AI is expanding access to legal services by reducing costs and enabling lawyers to serve the 70% of clients who previously couldn’t afford help. Why AI won’t replace lawyers and how tools like Spellbook enhance human judgment rather than automate legal decisions. Why now may be the best time to enter the legal field as AI eliminates drudgery and creates more room for strategy and client work. What product-market fit really looks like and how Scott found it after testing more than 100 hypotheses before landing on a solution that clicked. Why the best AI products embrace controlled chaos over rigid structure and how leaning into complexity reflects how the real world actually works.
