Details: Join us for a CLE presented by University of Montana School of Law Professor Paul Kirgis.  This CLE will address the rise of artificial intelligence and creation of a number of difficult evidentiary issues. AI can generate highly realistic text, video, and audio, creating risks that parties will offer fabricated and misleading evidence, or alternatively, argue that no evidence can be trusted. Traditional rules of authentication, which broadly delegate determinations of authenticity to the jury, may be insufficient to protect the truth-seeking process from these risks. At the same time, AI is capable of sophisticated research and analysis comparable to human experts, raising questions about whether existing standards for assessing expert testimony apply to AI “expertise.” This session addresses those issues, considering existing Montana law and proposals from both the Advisory Committee to the Federal Rules of Evidence and the Montana Evidence Commission to address AI in the courtroom.
