Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy · Tuesday, September 1, 2026
Sarah Guo illustrates the potential of AI in law with the example of Harvey AI, moving from simple tasks like reviewing a landlord-tenant agreement to complex M&A work. She emphasizes that the ambition and technical logic behind such advancements are what appeal to her.

I don't know when, could be next year or five years from now, but from the kernel of I can look at a landlord tenant agreement in California and answer a question, somewhat trivial, to I can project to doing an Activision Blizzard M&A and doing 85% of the work.”
“That's a leap. The thing that appealed to me in that moment was the ambition of what was possible then and the technical logic of why it would work.”
