🚨 New article in @law360ca! 🚨 Legal tech should empower users, not just streamline courts. Too often, it reinforces barriers instead of breaking them. How do we shift to a user-centred approach? Read more: law360.ca/ca/articles/23… #LegalTech #AccessToJustice #UserFirst

🚀 Just published! My latest article in @law360ca tackles procedural fairness and #AI explainability. If AI decisions can’t be explained, they can’t be challenged, posing a serious risk to procedural fairness in #Canada Read it here: law360.ca/ca/articles/22… #AIinLaw #LegalTech

"they don't have any military protection, look at what's going on out there... people are in danger" This is not the statement of the head of state of someone who is an ally to #Canada. Enlist. Persist. Resist. #Enlist #Persist #Resist

As a hub for my long-form #AI pieces, I've jumped on #Substack! I'll be importing my #LegalTech pieces over the coming weeks, and the stuff I'm working on now (which the #AIinLaw crowd will *really* like) will make its way over there when it's ready: @DanielJEscott" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@DanielJEscott

🚨 BREAKING! In a first for #copyright law, a court has found that training #AI models on copyright material is not fair use. What implications could this have in #Canada and broader #LegalTech development? I wrote all about it 👉 law360.ca/ca/ip/articles…

🚨 AI in law: More than just ethics & governance 🚨 Lawyers are stuck in a compliance loop - focusing on when #AI is allowed, not when it’s actually useful. Let's talk about when you SHOULD use AI. Full article 👉law360.ca/ca/pulse/artic… #LegalTech #AIinLaw #A2J #Law360Canada

⚖️ If #criminal courts are being hindered by outdated tech, why are the #appeal courts more worried about the loss of in-person hearings? In my latest article I explore the #judicial tech divide straining #Canada's justice system: law360.ca/ca/pulse/artic… #A2J #LegalTech #CdnLaw

🎙️New #Podcast Alert 🎙️ Had a great chance to sit with @joshschachnow1 on the Canadian #Immigration Pros Podcast to discuss #AIinLaw and highlight some of my work consulting with law firms and #LegalTech companies on responsible policies for #AI development and deployment

Josh Schachnow@joshschachnow1

If you have any interest in AI and immigration, this episode is for you. I had the pleasure of sitting down with @DanielJEscott to talk about a wide variety of AI-related topics, including: - the Federal Court of Canada's AI guidelines - their disclosure requirement and why I don't love it - how the Court is thinking about AI - advice for law firms thinking of using AI responsibly and much more. This is a must watch/listen if you're thinking about AI for your immigration firm, but can probably apply to any other law firm or service business too. And if you need help with the AI education or training that we discussed, reach out anytime. AI is what we do at Visto.ai. Let me know what you think if you check out the episode, links to watch or listen in the comments!

Now this is how you manage #AIrisks from the vendor side! In the wake of the #CanLII vs #Caseway debacle, it's heartwarming (and reassuring) to see a Canadian #AI / #LegalTech company support and enhance institutions like CanLII instead of replace them. candoo.ai/blog-CC.html
