The good news is, in this day and age — there’s an app for that!

In what it appears would be a first for a federal circuit court, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is considering adoption of a rule change that would require lawyers and unrepresented litigants to provide a certification regarding their use of artificial intelligence in preparing court filings. Lawyers and other filers would be required to certify either that they had not used AI in drafting the document or that, if they did, “a human” had reviewed the document for accuracy.

Patent due diligence processes take too long. The information you need is publicly available but accessing it is often tedious & inefficient, requiring you to wade through dozens of PTO websites or for-free tools to gather what you need. Plus, it frequently occurs late in the game, leaving professionals under pressure, sifting through chaotic 100-page PDFs, and frustrated with poorly formatted information & patent numbers.

Lukasz Ostrowski has a great piece over on Medium about the ethics of writing with AI. I’m in the law, where I’d guess the majority of blogging and digital publishing lawyers have thrown ethics out the window already by paying others to write content for them and publishing the content in their own name. For the lawyers who write their own blog posts, here’s some excellent points from Ostrowski – with my commentary – when it comes to using AI in writing.
