ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of Coopers’ Code, Miles Cooper is joined by regulars Marshall Cole and Shahrad Milanfar for another installment of This Month in Legal AI. The conversation shifts from how lawyers use AI to how AI itself is becoming central to litigation.
The group explores AI as a potential product liability defendant in medical device cases, including a surgical system whose malfunction rate spiked after AI implementation. They discuss how AI can transform a traditional med mal case into a product liability claim, potentially bypassing statutory caps.
The episode also dives into the ongoing social media addiction trial involving Meta, Mark Zuckerberg’s testimony, Section 230 defenses, and whether product liability theories can reshape platform accountability.
They examine pro per litigants using AI, hallucinated case law, attorney-client privilege risks when defendants upload facts into AI platforms, and whether communications with ChatGPT waive privilege.
Finally, the conversation turns to evolving evidentiary rules, AI authentication challenges, hearsay implications, and AI-enabled consumer products, including toys exposing children’s data.
A wide-ranging and practical discussion on where litigation meets artificial intelligence.
