Futurist Jim Carroll@alex @emilymbender @kendraserra I've got an article that is coming out soon all about the law and AI at one of my speaker bureau partners. It should be appearing at https://www.wsb.com/blog/ when it comes up. It starts out
"What are we going to do the first time someone wants to have an AI chatbot offer evidence in a court trial? Is the evidence reliable? Will it be trustworthy, or might it include some invalid or plainly incorrect misinformation? Will lawyers on both the plaintiff and defendant side be prepared to deal with these thorny, complex new legal issues? This is not a mythical issue - indeed, we will probably see this challenge arrive before we know it."
and
"Over 20 years ago, I was very heavily involved as an expert witness in a Canadian federal court case that involved among other things, intellectual property, trademark, Internet broadcasting, the origins of the Internet, and most importantly, the evidentiary value of the Internet in the courtroom.
My role was to provide detailed insight into the origins of the Internet, and the complex issues it was providing in this very complex legal case.
I was there to testify about issues of trademark, copyright, Internet broadcasting, and generally, how the Internet works.
But a key part of my testimony was unique for the time, and had to do with whether the Internet could be used in the courtroom as actual evidence - specifically to the question of “*the evidentiary value of the Internet in court.”*
