"Terms of Use"/"Terms of Service" essential to read to understand the way your data is handled.

Added to reading list! Thanks for the rec.

There are several practice management companies integrating AI to help with these types of issues. I have not played with them yet, but might be worth looking at. Or use document automation software. Not everything has to be GenAI.

I admit the legal companies that were founded around law (E.g. Lexis, Westlaw, etc.) have much better terms for their AI products since they understand (and often share) our ethical obligations.

I feel for you! Same thing happens to me.

The Global Legal-Tech Competition is now open! 🎉 We’re looking for legal technology start-ups to pitch at our competition in February 2025 on the theme, “Artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on legal practice.” Find out more: www.law.ed.ac.uk/news-events/...

A key board with a key with the letters 'AI' illuminated in blue. The text on the picture say 'Global Legal Tech Competition. Call for submissions. Edinburgh 19 February 2025. Artificial intelligence and it's impact on legal practice.'

Asked on LinkedIn but not many replies. I am thinking about switching up a book, Robot Rules, for my AI & the Law seminar in the Spring. What is your current favorite AI book? #LegalTech #EdTech #Lawsky

I have never found hanging out with legal tech folks to be a waste of time, just a lot of fun :)

Am I the only one worried by the number of people who seem to think the information they are putting into an AI product is completely confidential and protected if they have opted out of putting it in the training data? No. 1 AI skill: read the full Terms of Service/Use. #AI

Since folks seem to like my AI feeds, I figured they might also like these law-themed ones. Enjoy. General Audience: - Law-like Talk: bsky.app/profile/davi... - SCOTUS Talk: bsky.app/profile/lols... More "technical" - Law Review-like: bsky.app/profile/davi... Again, these are works in progress.

So happy for my students that their final memos are done and turned in! Good luck on finals! And now to see what I can bribe myself with to finish the next grading marathon and turn grades in on time.... #LawProfLife

#AcademicSky #LawSky let's get to know each other. Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you're working on, 2) an odd idea/theory you aren't working on but keep thinking about 1. Unending grading 2. How history repeats.

I forgot that I was going to share this prompt with you. I had my students run an earlier assignment through chatgpt with this. We then looked at one that I ran and talked about how it was changing statutory language & terms of art, but helped elsewhere. Use with careful thought was the lesson.

If we don't teach it, they will use it anyway, but without the proper understanding of it and recommended guardrails. Or a vendor will teach it, & the students will not know enough to question some statements. I also pointed out that our law school honor code requires explicit professor permission.

Half my students were terrified of AI and half were already using it. We had a chat at the beginning that started with the NYT article re: Mata and why they need to learn the skills themselves. At the end of the semester we are covering AI again about how it can be used ethically and responsibly 1/2

Bribing myself - I am officially allowed to open the cheese advent calendar from Sam's when I finish grading memo drafts (who cares if it is early! It is my bribe). Love teaching - hate grading...

Missing the old Twitter, and I see a lot of the folks I used to chat with suddenly moving here, so I am back to try this platform again. Here's hoping for good, civil conversation!

Tired of talking about using Generative AI in legal documentation? Let's chat about some of the other ways you can use it in your law practice. Prompts included: www.ailawlibrarians.com/2024/02/09/b... What other uses can you think of? Do you have prompts you are will to share, too? #legaltech

You know you are too invested in the OpenAI drama when you tell your fighting cats to stop acting like Ilya and Sam.

You could always license your soul to Amazon and give Alexa all your family member's birthdays. She is good at asking me if I want to do something a few days before.

I use thesaurus.com, too! What I like about ChatGPT, though, is if I give it the context of the sentence, it gives me better results. It also works as a thesaurus for concepts and not just words. I may have once asked it how to politely say "you're an idiot if you don't hire this person." 😇
