Episode notes
AI's Rapid Leap In Competence
- Large language models rapidly reached human-level performance on complex exams like the bar and medical licensing within a short time frame.
- This trajectory implies fast, unexpected shifts in what AI can achieve in legal and technical domains.
Hallucination Risks Are Real
- Generative AI still hallucinates and can fabricate plausible-looking but false citations and facts.
- Those hallucinations have real-world legal consequences, as shown by sanctions against attorneys who submitted AI-made fake citations.
Protect Confidential Inputs
- Avoid entering confidential invention details into public AI chat unless conversation history and training usage are disabled.
- Prefer enterprise APIs or vetted vendor tools that state they will not train models on your business data.
