In this episode of the Reminger Report Podcast on Emerging Technologies, host Zachary B. Pyers, Esq. is joined by associate Mackenzie Compton to discuss the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the legal profession, particularly focusing on its use and regulation. Key Discussion Points: Types of AI in the Legal Field: Mackenzie introduces two main categories: lay resources like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft CoPilot, and specialized legal resources like Westlaw and Lexis that have begun integrating AI to enhance legal research and case citation accuracy. Positives of AI in Legal Practice: AI can significantly aid legal practitioners by streamlining research, saving time on drafting, enhancing document review through e-discovery tools, and reducing attorney stress. However, concerns about AI completely replacing lawyers are largely exaggerated at this stage. Negatives and Cautionary Tales: Mackenzie addresses the infamous case of two New York attorneys who used AI to draft a brief that resulted in false citations, or "case hallucinations," leading to sanctions. This highlights the importance of understanding AI's limitations and verifying its outputs. Regulations Surrounding AI: The conversation covers the existing regulations, particularly the application of the Rules of Professional Conduct, which require lawyers to maintain competence in technology. Mackenzie also discusses specific court bans on AI use, like in the Southern District of Ohio, where strict rules have been implemented to prevent reliance on AI-generated content without proper verification. Future of AI Regulations: The discussion concludes with the need for more comprehensive, uniform regulations across jurisdictions to avoid confusion and ensure consistency in how AI is integrated into legal practice. This episode provides a balanced view of AI's potential benefits and risks in the legal field, emphasizing the need for careful implementation and adherence to evolving regulations.…

Washington State Expands Paid Family and Medical Leave to App-Based Drivers 5:45

Gig economy workers are generally classified as independent contractors. However, this classification has been continuously challenged by the gig economy workers, and at times, by the App based companies through whom they find work. This has resulted in some state legislatures passing bills that require app-based companies to offer benefits, that are often reserved for employees of the app-based rideshare and delivery companies, to their independent contractors. The first such Bill was in California. Now, other states may be following suit. In March 2022, Washington state lawmakers passed House Bill (“HB”) 2076: The Expand Fairness Act. Effective January 1, 2023, the bill gave Washington app-based drivers the following rights: state Workers’ Compensation coverage paid sick leave the guaranteed minimum pay for minutes worked, miles driven, and trips made a requirement that drivers must be provided just cause before account deactivation protection from retaliation for exercising these rights Listen to this week's episode for the details on this ruling.…

The ABCs of Worker Classification 11:12

Workers are traditionally classified as either employees or independent contractors. Gig economy workers are generally classified as independent contractors by the companies. However, we have recently seen both the Courts and state legislatures struggle with this dichotomy as it is applied to gig economy workers, who primarily work as rideshare or delivery drivers. On March 30, 2023, a federal district judge for the Northern District of California in the case Lawson v. Grubhub Holdings Inc., Case No. 3:15-cv-05128, ruled that a Grubhub delivery driver is an employee, not an independent contractor, for minimum wage and overtime claims, under the ABC test.
