Attendees will learn how verticalized AI can combine proprietary domain data with continuous human feedback from legal practitioners in the field
BOSTON, Oct. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Abstract, the developer and provider of the first proactive public policy superintelligence platform, announced today that Abstract’s co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Pat Utz, will be presenting “The Path To AGI: Scalability Meets Experience” at Future Lawyer USA on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, at 4:15 pm Eastern, at the Ropes & Gray Offices in Boston.
Over the past two years, the legal technology market has grown from $30.33 billion in 2024 to $32.98 billion in 2025, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%, according to The Business Research Company. AI adoption within law firms has seen a particularly sharp increase, rising from 11% in 2023 to 30% in 2024. Among firms with 100 or more attorneys, adoption jumped to 46%, up from 16% the previous year, according to the American Bar Association’s Legal Technology Survey Report. As adoption has increased, so has the race toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
“The race toward AGI isn’t just about scaling bigger models — it’s about giving AI real-world experience,” said Utz. “Vertical AI systems that learn from industry-specific data and daily practitioner feedback are what will make AI genuinely useful — and may ultimately bring us closer to true intelligence.”
During Utz’s presentation, he will examine how verticalized AI — systems designed for specific industries — can combine proprietary domain data with continuous human feedback from legal practitioners in the field. These iterative feedback loops allow AI systems to develop a kind of contextual awareness and judgment that begins to resemble real experience. Utz will also explore how the growing ecosystem of vertical AI companies could then collectively move us closer to AGI — not through sheer computational scale, but through the integration of specialized, experience-driven intelligence across sectors.
Attendees will learn first-hand about:
- Limiting AI Overwhelm
- Differentiating between AI tools
- Current impact of AI in the industry
- Where verticalized AI is headed
