AI, Ignorance, and Overconfidence: The Dangerous Mix of AI and the Dunning-Kruger Effect show art AI, Ignorance, and Overconfidence: The Dangerous Mix of AI and the Dunning-Kruger Effect

AI In Law Podcast

Have you ever met someone who talks like they’ve got a PhD in everything, but when you dig a little deeper, you realize they barely scratched the surface? That’s the Dunning-Kruger Effect in action—the classic case of people who don’t know what they don’t know.  It’s like reading a social media thread on quantum mechanics from someone who, upon further review, has zero scientific background but confidently explains black holes as if they just wrapped up a dissertation on the subject. It’s that dangerous mix of ignorance and overconfidence. The less people understand a topic,...

AI In Law Podcast

(The lawyer in me couldn’t just skim the TOS—I had to roll up my sleeves, dig in, and uncover what’s really lurking behind the legalese.) Most people don’t read the Terms of Service. But in this case, you probably should. Because hidden in the fine print are details that could impact your privacy, security, and even your business strategy. Here’s what stood out: Data Retention: Deleting your account doesn’t mean your data is erased—DeepSeek keeps it. Surveillance: The app has the right to monitor, process, and collect user inputs and outputs, including sensitive information....

Why Mitch Jackson Deleted His Accounts on X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads and TikTok show art Why Mitch Jackson Deleted His Accounts on X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads and TikTok

AI In Law Podcast

I wanted to share why I decided to delete my accounts on X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and TikTok. These platforms, under their current leadership, have become engines of misinformation, conspiracy theories, and real societal harm. The companies behind them amplify falsehoods and division on a massive scale, and their open alignment this past week with the Trump administration, make it clear to me where their priorities lie: profit over truth, and power over accountability. Now, I’m not thrilled that companies like Google, Microsoft and Amazon have also donated funds to the new...

Today, during this short 4 minute episode, we're focusing on having a healthy and positive mindset.

Yes, AI, tech and law are all important, but keeping your foundational well-being at the top of the priority list is key to embracing the daily challenges of tech, law, business and life.

Here's what I've learned. Here’s the thing about trying cases—and life. You can walk into that courtroom with your arguments polished, evidence lined up like soldiers, and witnesses prepped to the second. You think you’ve done everything right. But then—there’s the jury. Twelve strangers. Each carrying their own stories, biases, and ways of seeing the world. You never truly know what they’re thinking as the trial unfolds. And when the verdict lands? Sometimes, it surprises you.

Therefore, you learn to let go. Not completely, of course—you still fight like hell for your client. But you accept that some things are beyond your control. Like who’s sitting in those jury seats or how they’ll weigh your arguments. What you can control is the preparation, the delivery, and the relentless effort to do your best.

Life’s no different, really. You plan, you prepare, you dream. But then—curveballs. You don’t get the job. The deal falls through. The big risk doesn’t pay off. It’s easy to get stuck in the “why didn’t it work?” loop. I’ve been there. Yet, what I’ve learned—both in courtrooms and out—is this: fixating on the uncontrollable robs you of the joy right in front of you.

Therefore, when things don’t turn out as you planned, take a step back. Look at what truly matters—the constants in your life, like family, friends, and the moments that make you smile when no one’s looking. The trial of life isn’t about the verdict; it’s about how you show up each day.

So yes, fight for what you want. Put your heart into it. But don’t forget to laugh, to breathe, to be thankful—even when the world doesn’t hand you a win. Because perspective? That’s your superpower.

And if you remember one thing from this: focus on what you can control, let go of what you can’t, and never let today’s challenges steal the beauty of this moment. That’s how you win—every single day.
