Worried about AI? There’s no need to be leery about AI, as Brett Burney and I discuss in this Key eDiscovery Point from Nextpoint!

In the latest Key Discovery Points video, Brett Burney of Nextpoint and I discuss Craig Ball’s latest guide titled Practical Uses for AI and LLMs in Trial Practice, discussed by Craig in his blog post here (which I covered here and also used it to generate a meet-and-confer letter regarding an ESI protocol, which I detailed here). In this less-than-8-minute video, Brett and I discuss Craig’s excellent guide and how it illustrates that tools like ChatGPT can assist litigators and trial lawyers with practical applications, including drafting ESI protocols, crafting jury instructions, and building case chronologies. After reading Craig’s guide, you’ll find that there’s no need to be leery about AI!

Our coverage of Craig’s guide is just one of the Key Discovery point videos that Nextpoint has published which feature Brett and me. Here are some others:

• Even AI Experts Can Get Faked Out: Brett and I discuss the recent case involving an expert on AI and misinformation who submitted a court declaration that contained fake citations.
• Timing Sweet Spots for Spoliation Motions: Brett and I discuss the case ruling issued by Illinois District Judge Iain Johnston regarding the timing of filing spoliation motions.
• Should Hyperlinked Files Be Treated as Modern Attachments?: Brett and I discuss our E-Discovery Day webinar on the topic including the surprising results from the poll we issued during the webinar asking that question.
• Get Your Objections In Early – and Keep Your Filings Succinct: Brett and I discuss this case, where Washington District Judge Benjamin Settle rejected the State of Washington’s “newly-minted” objections to the deposition topics, which also had a 1900-page filing!

They’re all around the 8-minute mark, so they’re a quick listen. More to come, as Brett and I are trying to record these Key Discovery Points discussing a blog post from eDiscovery Today weekly – we’ll see how we do! You can find these and any other recordings from Brett and me on Nextpoint’s YouTube channel here! 😊
