ChatGPT takes Steven Schwartz to Court

Download Transcript and Resources

There was a historical case presented in federal court in New York City last week. Lawyer Steven Schwartz was hauled into court for using unresearched, unsubstantiated output from ChatGPT to defend a client. For those of us following the case, it’s a chance to get a first hand look at a case that will be setting precedence around the country, if not around the world, when it comes to using AI output in the courtroom.

Joel MacMull has presented before Judge Castel, who is presiding over the case, a few times, so he and I planned on meeting in the courtroom that day. Life got in the way.  Instead, a few days later, we got on a call with our friend and technologist Shannon Lietz to discuss the legal aspects of the case, as well as the future of using this type of technology to do research.

How can we trust output from an AI engine? When is it appropriate to use an AI engine to do professional research? Should Schwartz have known better, or do we believe him when he says he had no idea that ChatGPT could just make things up. Should we have sympathy, empathy, or disdain for what he did?Joel, Shannon and I will give you our opinions and insights, but then, it’s up to you to decide: what are the legitimate uses of AI in its current state? Is it an experiment? Is it really changing the course of history? Does it have a legitimate use on the open, unfiltered market?Like I said, you decide… but get the facts first. That’s what we’re about to do. Stay with us…

This is the final episode of our 10 part series on End User License Agreements or EULAs for short. I’m Mark Miller, Executive Producer and host of “That’s in My EULA??” When Joel MacMull and I thought about this series, our assumption was that we’d reach a point where the agreements we were analyzing would start to look alike, and that’s pretty much what’s happened.

What we’re going to do in this episode is to do a quick review and go over the highlights of the series, the highs and lows, to give you some quick insights into what we’ve discovered.

At the end of the episode, I’ll go over what we’re planning for Season Two and how you can become involved. Stay with us.

That’s a Wrap

 That’s a wrap for Season One of “That’s in my EULA??” When we come back in Season Two, Joel and I will be looking at legal cases currently being considered or actually in session in the court system. From what we’re seeing, AI and GPT are going to get some major exposure in the coming months, and we’ll be on top of that.

We’ll also be looking for ideas from you. You can leave us a note and suggestions on our LinkedIn page at Sourced Network Productions. Thanks for staying with us through the first season. We’ll see you in Season Two.
