S1:E6 // AI on trial: Understanding AI for lawyers

By

Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming a regular part of our daily lives—including modern criminal prosecutions and courtroom practice.

In this episode of Legal Unpacked, Justin Fitzsimmons introduces a clear three-dimensional AI framework for lawyers, distinguishing capabilities, tools, and applications, and explaining the current reality of narrow AI that drives most systems in use today.  

Prosecutors will gain a practical understanding of generative AI, including how it creates content, where it fails, and why documented breakdowns in the legal profession matter for credibility and risk assessment.

The presentation also addresses the ethical and professional responsibilities associated with AI-assisted work and provides a structured approach for evaluating when and how generative AI may be used responsibly in prosecutorial functions.

The session concludes by grounding generative AI–created trial exhibits in evidentiary foundations, focusing on authenticity, reliability, and admissibility in court.
