Here are your hosts, Nasir Pasha and Matt Staub. NASIR: Welcome to our podcast today! We are covering artificial intelligence as it applies to the legal world. One of the big news for this particular podcast is this is entirely generated by AI. I am talking, my image, everything here is completely through artificial intelligence generated. It’s a new technology. What do you guys think so far? MATT: You know what’s disappointing? I actually came with the exact same joke or same line, and you stole it from me. NASIR: Great minds think alike. Great comedians too as well? I don’t know. MATT: I don’t know if we can consider ourselves comedians. We try, but… For attorneys, I think we can probably justify it, but in the general population, I don’t think so. NASIR: Maybe in the realm of dad jokes. MATT: That’s true. NASIR: I’ll take that. From that standard, I thought that was pretty good. MATT: Yes. NASIR: This is really me as far as you can tell. In reality, maybe ten years from now, you wouldn’t be able to tell, but we are going to be covering probably the most talked about issue in 2023 which is AI or artificial intelligence. I think the last time we had this kind of topic from a legal perspective to really parse out and hash out like this was probably for COVID-19. In fact, I think we did a whole episode on all the legal implications of COVID-19 – everything from working from home and the vaccinations and these kinds of things. But artificial intelligence in particular has brought in all these new legal issues. One thing that we said back in COVID – if you recall, Matt – even though it’s bringing on new issues, it is still based upon old law. This is what happens with technology or a new pandemic. The law is slow to adjust, so there are going to be things that are based upon what’s happened in the past to build analogies to apply to the future. We’re going to talk about everything from copyright law to using AI in the workplace and some mishaps in using AI in business. MATT: It’s similar to any emerging technology. At this point, it is very much in the forefront. Sometimes, we try to do podcasts that are evergreen. This one is obviously not going to be. If you listen to this a year from now, I imagine it is going to be much different the things we would say now versus 12 months from now. It’s definitely something that’s still emerging. We’re still learning. The law is very far behind, as you said,
