Stop using Chat GPT for this

Send us Fan Mail AI tools like ChatGPT are everywhere in small business right now, and they can be brilliant for note taking, summaries, admin and creative idea generation. But there is a line business owners should not cross: using AI for strategic legal advice, especially when the stakes involve contracts, disputes and business risk. More and more business owners are asking AI what they should do legally, then acting on it like it is professional advice. The problem is AI can sound confident even when it is wrong and in law, wrong advice is rarely a small problem. I share real world examples of what can happen when you rely on AI for legal decisions, including a polished client agreement that missed key intellectual property and dispute resolution clauses and led to a $60,000 conflict. I also take a look at the risks of getting contractor vs employee decisions wrong and how AI-driven assumptions can trigger costly superannuation claims. The takeaway is simple. Use AI for efficiency and brainstorming, but for legal advice, contracts, intellectual property, employment issues and disputes, speak to a qualified lawyer who understands your context and carries the responsibility. **LINKS:** **Episode Website:** https://www.tmlegalatelier.com.au/rise-up-in-business-podcast/stop-using-chatgpt-for-this  **Sign up for my fortnightly Atelier Briefings** here **Check Your Legals with the Essential Legal Checklist** here **Book a Complimentary Introduction Call with me** here **Join me on Instagram** here
