Legal AI alliances – is it time to negotiate better terms?
16th October 2025
Strategic alliances amongst legal content vendors are reshaping legal research, and embedding AI into platforms.
These investments come with the promise of improved efficiency and efficacy, and premium pricing.
Information managers can use the "workload paradox", and inherent inaccuracy risks, to mitigate potential price increases.

Are you ready for the three-tier information economy?
31st July 2025
As publishers strike exclusive AI licensing deals and accelerate behind paywalls, a new three-tier information economy is emerging.
We explore the key insights from Jinfo’s new report, highlighting the implications for information managers.
From access strategies to vendor negotiations, we outline how to prepare for the complex content landscape now taking shape.
Synthetic data: what information managers need to know
22nd July 2025
Synthetic data, meaning data that has been generated by a model, was a topic discussed at the KiMRA (Knowledge & Information Management, Research & Analysis) conference in London, UK, both last year and again this year.
Here, Jinfo explores synthetic data to understand what it is, how it can be used, and what it could mean for information managers.
Upskilling for AI
15th July 2025
Jinfo’s new report explores how information teams can help their organisation to use AI tools more confidently, capably, and responsibly.
Here we look at some of the key findings.
What we learned from reviewing AI tools for news
10th July 2025
During the spring of 2025, Jinfo reviewed different AI tools to see how well they work searching for news.
We looked at solutions from “free” AI platforms (ChatGPT and Perplexity) as well as paid solutions (FT and Factiva).
Our research explored their strengths and weaknesses. None of the solutions are perfect.
Our article, “How should information managers respond to the call to use free AI tools for news?” and report, “Can you rely on open-source AI for news? A review of Perplexity and ChatGPT” contain our detailed findings, and this blog reflects on some of our findings.
