Here’s the kitchen sink for July 25, 2025 of ten stories that I didn’t get to this week – with another brand-new meme from Gates Dogfish!

Why “the kitchen sink”? Find out here! 🙂

The Kitchen Sink is even better when you can include a brand-new eDiscovery meme courtesy of Gates Dogfish, the meme channel dedicated to eDiscovery people and created by Aaron Patton. For more great eDiscovery memes, follow Gates Dogfish on LinkedIn here! Now, that’s a privilege! 🤣

Here is the kitchen sink for July 25, 2025 of a vacation shortened seven stories that I didn’t get to this week, with a comment from me about each:

We’re up to 229 AI hallucination cases and counting! As I discussed in this post, there’s a site that is tracking AI hallucination cases, so I will start showing an updated total weekly here.

ChatGPT Glossary: 53 AI Terms Everyone Should Know: Good resource – everything from artificial general intelligence (AGI) to zero-shot learning.

10 strategies OpenAI uses to create powerful AI agents – that you should use too: Another good resource. The first one is right up the alley of eDiscovery professionals – Prioritize stubborn workflows. eDiscovery is about workflows and agentic AI is becoming a useful tool in streamlining them.

GENIUS Act Signed Into Law: A Game Changer for Legal Discovery and Information Governance: It takes a genius like Rob Robinson to find stories like this that many of us might miss (see what I did there? 😉). Anyway, the GENIUS Act introduces a structured national framework through which digital assets—specifically payment stablecoins—may be issued and used. These stablecoins are digital currencies designed to maintain a consistent value by being backed by traditional assets such as U.S. dollars and Treasury securities. How does that impact eDiscovery and InfoGov? Read the article to find out.

Decision on How to Best Search for ESI – Court Orders ESI Protocol in “Epic of Dysfunctional Discovery,” With Unique Clawback Provision: Michael Berman finds the most interesting cases! This one, covered on the EDRM blog, not only involves the Court ordering an ESI Protocol and permission of clawback of irrelevant documents, but it also references Judge Peck’s Rule 1.1. 😊

Surprising no one, new research says AI Overviews cause massive drop in search clicks: Pew reports that searches without an AI answer resulted in a click rate of 15 percent. On search engine results pages (SERPs) with AI Overviews, the rate of clicks to other sites drops by almost half, to 8 percent. This means less views to those sites, which means less money. 😬

Vulnerability Exposes SharePoint’s Data Security Concerns: An active exploit known as “ToolShell” has gained significant attention due to its ability to allow unauthorized actors complete access to on-premise SharePoint servers. The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) are already deeply involved in addressing the vulnerability, labeled CVE-2025-53770, a variant of a previously identified weak point deemed a “zero-day” vulnerability. Ruh-roh! 😬 Rob Robinson has the breakdown of the story.

Navigating AI’s Twin Perils: The Rise of the Risk-Mitigation Officer: Terrific discussion from Ralph Losey about one new job which will grow significantly over the next few years – AI Risk-Mitigation Officer. And here’s some potential good news: The 2025 World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report at page 25 predicted that by 2030 there will be 11 million new jobs created and 9 million old jobs phased out. Those who can reinvent themselves will not only save their career but likely enhance it. 😊

Hope you enjoyed the kitchen sink for July 25, 2025! Back next week with another edition!
