26:24

What a fine line between protectible invention and expression (as opposed to public domain idea and unprotected material) in AI-generated content? This, in turn, leads us to question just how “involved” AI can be in an invention and writing with a human still claiming ownership of the results.

The Valley Current®: Is Citizen Trump Also Changing Federal Tax Law Enforcement? 35:15

2M ago35:15

35:15

Donald Trump’s taxes (and the tax code in general) have been a major source of controversy for years. Until now, inflating the value of your property to secure better loan agreements then later devaluing the same property has lurked in a gray area where this magnitude of asset manipulation has explicitly been labeled as illegal. By closing this loo…

The Valley Current®: Will AI change the way juries are selected? 44:03

3M ago44:03

44:03

The future of Artificial Intelligence boils down to two possibilities: it’s either your average search engine that’s been overblown or it’s an amazing experiment already being leveraged at its infancy.

The Valley Current®: How is AI Accelerating Change Management? 31:49

3M ago31:49

31:49

The biggest barrier to change has always been culture. When personal computers were new to the workplace, many employees stuffed their computer into a corner and treated it as furniture or viewed it as something for just the secretary to work with.

49:12

Taxes may be the price we pay to live in a civilized society, but no one, no matter how wealthy they are, likes paying taxes.

How many times have you looked at your email, found an invitation to join a class action lawsuit, and wondered if it’s even worth it? While there’s usually little to no downside to joining these lawsuits, it may take years for the case to settle with a laughably minimal payout due to the large number of claimants. However, sometimes the real payoff…

Years ago, the height of legal technology was having a keynote system that would allow you to search through printed case summaries using indexes.

18:15

Between the many lawsuits of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, its hard to remember if there has ever been so much news regarding state or federal litigation.

Anyone who has looked into how movies are made knows that the plot doesn’t really begin to take shape until the storyboarding phase.

11:29

Climate change is a universal crisis, but the way we assess everything related to this crisis is problematic in itself.
