New Digital Battlefield AI & Litigation
Location not specified yetSummary:
“It’s all academic until you get sued.”
This quote from presenter Brad Frazer well summarizes the best kept secret of the U.S. legal system: nothing you do, whether it be signing a contract or registering a copyright or taking out a loan, has any real impact on you unless you get sued or you need to sue someone. Short of that, it all remains largely an academic exercise. You live your life essentially unaware of the underlying legal obligations you have accepted.
And this truth necessarily invokes that part of the U.S. legal system called “litigation.” “Litigation” is what happens when you get sued or need to sue someone to get them to do, or not do, something. “Litigation” is a year-long class in law school called “Civil Procedure.” You are lucky if you’ve never experienced litigation. It is expensive and exhausting, and often the only people who get paid are the lawyers. The lawyers on both sides get paid no matter who wins.
AI has had a dramatic impact on litigation, however. Now, more and ore people are using AI to seek justice through litigation without using lawyers. Courts are thus being overwhelmed by people representing themselves using AL. The upside is that more and more lawyers can be more efficient and less expensive using AI to sue people.
But using AI in litigant comes at a high cost. From hallucinations, to sanctions, to case dismissals, to wrong outcomes, using AI in court is the Wild West.
This session will explore what litigaiton is, how it works and the impact of using AI in court.Brad Frazer's Bio:
