Today, the longest running cable television show kicks off, but not without some skepticism from scientists. 🦈
Discovery's Shark Week series has been criticized for spreading misinformation and not utilizing a diverse group of scientific experts to provide educational perspectives on shark life. Instead, a recent study found that most "experts" were non-scientist and went by "Mike."

Alex Su says it all in his opinion of the sanctions imposed by Judge Kastel on litigators Schwartz and LoDuca who quoted falsified court proceedings generated by ChatGPT.

This case should serve as a wake-up call to litigators everywhere - cutting corners on discovery could result in sanctions, case losses, and defamation.

The digital pool of information is growing exponentially. Data discovery must be accurate, verified, and secure.

This article by Linklaters asked 3 lawyers to evaluate ChatGPT's responses to 50 legal questions.

The results - some responses were accurate while others were just dead wrong. ❌
There's a certain amount of caution that should be exercised when using generative AI platforms like ChatGPT. While the tool can help us research and reason, it's merely a tool rendered useless without the expertise of a legal professional.

Data collected online works the same way - it needs to be reliable and deeply understood in order to serve a purpose in your case. SMI Aware helps legal teams collect reliable data every day. And we use a combination of human experts and technology to discover and collect evidence on social media and the web.

OpenAI’s new AI tool, ChatGPT, can produce amazingly authentic responses. We put it head-to-head with three of our top lawyers and asked it 50 questions to check the quality of its legal advice. The responses ranged from excellent to dangerously wrong. We consider the wider implications.
