It’s much more insidious. It will necessitate a surveillance AI on all interactions to eliminate legal liability. That is absolutely inevitable.

Ohh that's a good idea.

If I'm understanding this correctly you proactively filter comms through an AI. If it detects you said something that could be interpreted a certain way the communication isn't sent and the user is told to be more careful in their phrasing?

That's pretty brilliant to be honest. Except maybe the discovery will then be on what the AI filter was instructed to prevent as if that's an admission of guilt.

There’s always a double jeopardy in legal monitoring. You have to adjudicate the risk of appearance in discovery and trial against the original risk you sought to moderate.

I absolutely think this is a good startup idea, and have been pondering building out a prototype.

I don’t love it, but in so many ways when you sit down and look at the alternative to it that isn’t tearing down or radically altering the existing legal system, it’s actually the better platform for the future.

Unfortunately there is a plethora of social control (and behavioral modification) issues intrinsic in this technology area, and like medical it requires some serious and open ethical exploration.

Thanks for the good comment.
