About this listen

Can state‑court judges safely use generative AI? In this episode, Jen Leonard and Bridget McCormack unpack Pennsylvania’s interim policy for courts—what it allows, what it restricts, and how human review and confidentiality guardrails work in practice. They compare real AI workflows from their own desks—editing a book with Claude and turning a long essay into slides—and dissect the “AI pilots are failing” storyline versus the reality of high adoption and slower ROI. You’ll also hear why court labs, enterprise access, and judge‑focused guidelines matter now.

We cover:

  • Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s interim AI policy and guardrails
  • AI Aha!: Claude as editor; ChatGPT vs. Claude vs. Gemini for slides
  • MIT “AI pilots” narrative vs. actual adoption and ROI timelines
