I had the pleasure of speaking last week at the Maximum Lawyer Conference in St. Louis. The topic revolved around how lawyers can and should use the power of public speaking to add value to their community and build their brands.
If you missed the conference, you can click here to see a few pictures. I also invite you to watch and listen to my best speaking tips in the Powerpoint video below.
I just watched a video from AI startup Dessa. Several of its engineers created a voice clone, perfectly mimicking the sound (tone, word choice, voice inflection…) of podcaster, comedian and MMA-commentator, Joe Rogan. Watch and listen here.
Can you tell the difference between the real Joe Rogan and the AI Joe Rogan? Are you as blown away by this AI technology as I am?
These are fascinating times. I’m a big fan of tech but, as a trial lawyer who thinks about foundation and authenticity evidentiary issues during trial, I’m concerned that many lawyers, judges and jurors, are going to be intentionally mislead by this kind of technology. People and companies are going to win and lose cases, and some will go to jail, because of fake evidence created with these AI tools.
Even video is being altered every single day. Here’s a good example to help remind everyone that what you think you’re hearing and seeing may not actually depict the truth.
One of the reasons I agreed to be a contributing expert to our California State Bar’s “Effective Introduction of Evidence in California- Chapter 54 Electronic and Social Media Evidence” was to highlight these issues and, show lawyers how to protect the best interests of their clients. As technology gets better and better, so will the challenge of figuring out the difference between fact and fiction. The more we all know about this new AI, the better off we’ll be as a society.
I hope I’ve given you a few things to think about. Enjoy the rest of your day and make this weekend your masterpiece!
P.S. Yes, it’s really me, and not an AI bot, writing this post 😉
