ChatGPT and AI Applications for In-house Lawyers

ACC Docket: “The explosive emergence of ChatGPT as a consumer tool has catapulted Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its subfield, natural language processing (NLP), to the technology stage. As AI and NLP continue to evolve, the use of AI-powered tools, such as the Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT), in the legal industry has become increasingly prevalent. Many lawyers are experimenting with AI and grappling with its applications to streamline practices and improve efficiency. While GPT and other AI-powered tools can potentially revolutionize aspects of the legal profession, it is important to consider the current limitations and potential pitfalls in implementing these technologies..

  • Language processing and deep learning. Interdisciplinary advancements in machine learning models have achieved complex AI engines capable of generating human-like text.

  • A stalwart administrative assistant. With its haste and ability to process large amounts of data, ChatGPT can be an excellent tool for drafting, proofreading, and research.

  • Garbage in, garbage out. ChatGPT’s output is only as meaningful as its input, and users must take care in verifying the information they feed to, and extract from the model.

  • Ethical implications. This nascent world of AI modeling raises questions in realms such as data privacy, intellectual property, and carbon emissions.”

The ChatGPT list of lists

Medium: “A collection of 3000+ prompts, examples, use-cases, tools, APIs, extensions, fails and other resources. Oh, ChatGPT! Some 2 months on the market and a not so tiny ecosystem has developed all on its own, with lists of prompts, tips, APIs, use cases, extensions, success stories and failures. ChatGPT is the first true foundation model for the mass-market. Some of the posts, blogs, and articles dealing with this new phenomenom, well, really don’t deserve any attention. Like “The 10 Best Side Hustles with ChatGPT that Can Earn You $4,000 a Week.” But some of them are genuinely interesting. I’ll try to give you an overview on the more exciting applications.”





My AI agrees completely. It also points out that the winning ‘country’ may be virtual… (My local library has a copy on order.)

The next world power will be the first to harness the power of AI, former defense official argues in new book

In his latest book, "Four Battlegrounds: Power in the Age of Artificial Intelligence," Scharre explores how the international battle for the most powerful AI technology is changing global power dynamics. That battle, he says, is a global competition to seek the best and most efficient data, computing hardware, human talent, and institutions adopting AI technology — which will determine the next global superpower.





Is this an economic miracle? Silly me. I thought I had a rudimentary understanding of economics.

Joint Statement by the Department of the Treasury, Federal Reserve, and FDIC

After receiving a recommendation from the boards of the FDIC and the Federal Reserve, and consulting with the President, Secretary Yellen approved actions enabling the FDIC to complete its resolution of Silicon Valley Bank, Santa Clara, California, in a manner that fully protects all depositors. Depositors will have access to all of their money starting Monday, March 13. No losses associated with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank will be borne by the taxpayer.

We are also announcing a similar systemic risk exception for Signature Bank, New York, New York, which was closed today by its state chartering authority. All depositors of this institution will be made whole. As with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank, no losses will be borne by the taxpayer.

All rise for the robot judge: AI and blockchain could transform the courtroom

Do the developers of legal bots have sufficient knowledge and experience of the law? Is the data used to “train” their algorithms timely? Will critical evidence be filtered out?
