Two years ago I did a podcast on A/I with Patrick Barone and Randy Olson, telling them “hell no, I won’t go.”  It made up facts and cases, it couldn’t spell, and I was certain it could never touch the humanity at the heart of sentencing advocacy.

But the machines got smarter and the stakes got larger.

Therefore, yours truly went from skeptic to true believer.

I am still trying to learn this mind-blowingly powerful tool, and to that end, I needed to have Patrick back to help us figure out how to use this thing ethically, effectively, and without getting banished from the garden.

Patrick Barone is a Michigan criminal defense attorney, a national speaker on DUI defense, psychodrama, and forensic science, and one of the sharpest voices in the defense bar on AI. We get into questions typical A/I discussions often miss:

⚖️ Is “check your work” really the whole ethics lesson?
⚖️ Are you risking your duty of competence if you refuse to learn AI?
⚖️ Is the paid version of your favorite chatbot confidential enough for client files?
⚖️ What happens when the body cam drafts the police report, and why your discovery demands need a rewrite today.
⚖️ Why your client’s late-night chat with “the Law Offices of ChatGPT” can be catastrophic.
⚖️ Why nobody should ever use AI to write a sentencing letter.

Then things get weird. For the first time in Set for Sentencing history, AI itself joins as a guest to grill Patrick, and I ask it the big one: is AI going to kill us all? The answer will send a chill down your spine.
