Did you know that an attorney landed in hot water for submitting a legal brief containing non-existent cases generated by an AI language model? Chat GPT's hallucinations, which included fake case citations and entirely non-existent opinions, led to serious consequences for the attorney. It's a powerful reminder of the limitations and potential risks of relying solely on AI for legal work.

Attorney Zachary Aman, from The Spiggle Law Firm, joins Tom Spiggle to discuss how the rapidly evolving practice of using AI is impacting legal professionals and pro se litigants.

With no official regulations or legislation governing the use of AI in legal filings, judges have taken it upon themselves to issue standing orders, introducing requirements for disclosure of AI usage. This makes it more critical than ever to know the rules of your local court.

As employment law cases can be complex and overwhelming for individuals navigating the litigation process, this episode provides insights into the challenges, risks, and best practices associated with integrating AI tools like Chat GPT into legal research and drafting documents.
