Episode Summary

University of Ottawa law professor Amy Salyzyn on the evolving use and misuse of AI in the courts

Episode Notes

As artificial intelligence keeps evolving, so do the ways of using and misusing it in the courts. To kick off our new season, University of Ottawa expert Amy Salyzyn joins the show to explain everything from prompt injection attacks to shadow AI, and how the human beings who work in Canada’s justice system are handling the challenge.

For more on AI and the law, listen to past episodes about hallucinated cases, racial bias in AI, and the first Canadian judge to encounter AI-generated fake citations.

Also, check out AI in Practice, a monthly CBA webinar series that examines AI in the Canadian legal context.

Verdicts & Voices is a legal current affairs podcast presented by the Canadian Bar Association. With her retinue of expert guests, host Alison Crawford keeps listeners up to date on news, views, and stories about the law and the justice system in Canada.
