Judge Biases in Hearings and AI for Client Intake in PI: Erik Attorney at HGD Law

So Eric, talk to me about kind of, you know, the Avid and ChatGPT happened.

What was like the big boom started, I think, two years ago, three years ago.

How have you seen, you know, perhaps and how you've seen your own kind of workflow change? And what's what are some things that you use in your day to day on the AI side to help you do your job?

So we use AI.

Well, if we go back two years, we were probably one of the slowest operators.

We wanted to see what it was doing, what the downsides were.

where the risk were to a firm like ours just didn't really understand it.

Within the last 12 to 18 months, it's exploded in the public, and it's also exploded here in our practice.

I think we probably use it on just about every level, from the receptionist side, intake.

It's pretty heavy there.

We use it also in the cases that we accept.

I wish there was a way to use it in cases that we're reviewing.

Trying to figure out a way to do that now.

Cost prohibitive right now, but I think it's going to be...

Something we're going to really be able to use then once we get there.

But also, HR uses it a ton just for policies, updating policies, for scheduling, reviewing emails, making sure that I'm not just spending time reading emails that I don't need to be spending time doing.

I think just about everybody's doing that now or should be.

Recently, I've got to give a presentation at the end of this week.

I've used it to kind of help me work through a presentation on a subject that I wasn't really... up to speed on.

So I had it kind of threw in what I was going to do, what my background was.

It spit out something for me that I'm not going to use, but it was a good template to kind of go in and figure out where I want to head with certain subjects.

So I spent the weekend doing that as it was getting colder down here.

Also doing some interesting things with jury focus groups.

A lawyer taught me how to do this and it's really fascinating.

And that's boggling my mind a little bit right now, the accuracy and the detail that we can get in using AI for those purposes.
