She has been an assistant attorney general in two states….and these days Jackie Schafer has been pioneering the use of AI as a valuable tool for the legal community with the company she founded and heads, Clearbrief.

“So one of the issues with using ChatGPT.. which is OpenAI’s sort of public version… it will generate text for you based on different prompts, but there are very clear disclaimers like this is not accurate, it will make up stuff, it will do what’s called hallucination. And it will even make up cases that look like real case citations.”

And Clearbrief is designed for accuracy and reliability.

Founder and CEO Patrick Sherwin..

“So now you’re only using one tenth the electricity when cooking a meal on twelve volt. So we can have a 350 degree oven in the GoSun Sport with just about seven amps or eighty watts of electricity. And that’s about a tenth of what a microwave or a toaster oven or an electric stove would use.”
