My guest today has been preaching  about the potential power of tech in the legal sphere since the earliest days of social media.

Nicole Black began her legal career as a Public Defender, conducting countless hearings, jury trials, bench trials, and depositions, in matters both civil and criminal.

But in 2008 she began covering the intersection of technology and law as a journalist for publications like The American Bar Association, Above the Law, and The Daily Record.

In 2012  she joined MyCase, a legal software case management system, where she serves as a Subject Matter Expert and Educator, and in that time has become a self-proclaimed Legal Technology Evangelist.

I was able to hear Nicole speak earlier this year, and by the time she'd finished her talk she'd convinced even me to give a ChatGPT subscription a shot. 

But our conversation this week deals with far more than the productivity promises of A.I.. 

Nicole and I discuss whether our own biases  to these new technologies can exacerbate current legal disparities, how generative A.I. could help you build better human relationships, and why you should praise our future robot overlords... just in case. 

Enjoy the show.
