Early Returns Podcast - Oliver Roberts: AI and the Law, and an Education
Early Returns Law & Politics Podcast with Jan Baran
In this episode of Early Returns podcast, Jan Baran speaks with Artificial Intelligence (AI) legal expert. lawyer and teacher, Oliver Roberts, to speak about AI, its birth, its forms, and how people have historically used and are currently using the ever-changing technology. They discuss further about how AI has changed the way lawyers practice, how the courts are using it, what questions clients are asking in RFPs related to technology, and why the big law firms are investing in AI.
There are plenty of upsides to using AI; but what is “AI hallucination?” Old school legal tech companies are incorporating advanced AI and new AI legal products are being promoted throughout the industry; however, any information collected through AI still requires lawyers and others to check for any false or misleading information. Spoiler Alert: Using AI may be quicker a way to research or write initially, but the AI hallucination rate can be high.
Oliver also discusses recent attempts to regulate AI, including an effort at the Federal Election Commission.
