In this latest episode of The Inside View podcast, Legal IT Insider’s editor Caroline Hill spoke with Bird & Bird’s globally renowned head of legal technology and innovation, Hélder Santos, about the growth, benefits, and challenges of vibe coding.
Vibe coding – an expression coined by AI researcher and former OpenAI/Tesla leader Andrej Karpathy in early February 2025 – means that users generate applications by describing their vision in natural language to large language models.
We discussed how vibe coding is helping Bird & Bird to be agile and accelerate client delivery, as well as give creativity to its people – helping them to turn knowledge into code, without the need always for a technical translator.
Santos talked us through existing examples of vibe coded tools and the challenges and failure points in generated code. We discussed how fee-earners can code in an enterprise safe way without creating shadow IT, in a way that can be supported by IT.
This is a really great listen, our thanks to Santos. You can listen to the full episode on Spotify and YouTube below:
