AI is “Game-Changer” for right field, but mobile case highlights dangers

Mobile, Ala. (Wala) -For Stephen Yeager, who has a Theodore company, the lawyer with digital forensics, research and advice to the jury helps, artificial intelligence was a “game -change”.

What used to take hours took minutes.

“However, it is a tool of the next level,” said Yeager, owner of Divine Litigation Services. “I mean, it basically does things that no other tool can do, and in a very short time – especially with regard to the legal area.”

But Yeager said a person has to check everything a AI program produces.

“One of the AI ethics is, validate, validate, validate,” he said.

Even experienced lawyers stumbled across the country with AI. The latest instance occurred this week in Mobile, where a lawyer who represented alleged drug “Kingpin” Glennie Antonio McGee, admitted to submitting a judicial report created by a genitive -Ai program, in which “non -existent” cases cited.

Yeager said he used AI to help the lawyers digest evidence that can operate thousands of pages in some cases. It offers an example from Marco Antonio Perez, who is in the center to kill a mobile police officer. A problem in this process was whether Perez knew that the official was a police officer.

Yeager said Perez 'legal team received records of interviews with more than 70 witnesses. The AI turned it into transcripts, and then Yeager said that he asked how many people saw the officer's badge and how many shots they had heard.

“We had the answer within 30 minutes,” he said.

The technology can be an analysis of a higher order, said Yeager. He pointed out a great medical misconduct that he consulted. He said he wanted to quickly see indications of knee operations on thousands of pages with medical records. He said that the AI not only returned two results, but also unemployed other references by recognizing the procedures through its five-digit process technology codes listed in the documents.

Similarly, a van played a key role in a recent murder case for mobile capital. He said a question from the AI had returned 13 mentions of a van and then suggested to look at other mentions of “prohibition”, which the program could be a typo in the written documents.

Lawyers use the same powerful technology to develop movements and other briefs. The programs can do anything, of precedent that supports the lawyer's argument to design the language itself.

This is done by lawyer James Johnson to obtain a Microsoft product based on the open source chatt to design a registration that has postponed McGee's drug processes. However, the public prosecutor found that some of these precedence cases were not real.

Yeager said that there are many companies that market inexpensive AI rights programs that no longer promise. He said that more expensive programs such as you, which are connected to Westlaw and Lexis, avoid this potential.

“It is not Google. You know what I mean? … You have your own legal databases from which you come from, and your own modeling that you separate this type of Chatgpt Open AI style program,” he said.

However, experts say that even the best AI programs have potential disadvantages. Joe Patrice, a senior editor from above in the law, told FOX10 News that these programs would not make any cases, but could misinterpret them incorrectly.

“And that is the nuanced stuff that the AI even tries to smooth out,” he said. “And if you don't know that it does and know that you have to check it yourself, you can burn yourself.”

McGee probably doesn't have to worry about this problem with his new lawyer Jason Darley, who said he didn't use AI.

“When I don't read it with my own eyes, I don't trust him,” he said.
