The Expert Record – The Standard for Expert Witnesses Using AI (www.theexpertrecord.com)

A new book titled "The Expert Record – The Standard for Expert Witnesses Using AI" by Bill Hartzer aims to establish a framework for expert witnesses navigating the increasingly complex interactions between artificial intelligence (AI) and legal proceedings. The core premise is that while AI has not fundamentally changed how experts might err, it has introduced a verifiable record of their analytical process. This book provides a definitive method for experts to ensure their findings are robust against scrutiny during depositions and trials, responding to the rising queries regarding AI's role in litigation reports. This resource is significant for the AI/ML community as it proposes standardized practices that can enhance the integrity and credibility of expert testimonies involving AI. By introducing a structured approach—featuring eight clauses that can be adopted in engagement letters, a taxonomy for task management, and a six-step examination method—the book equips experts with tools to defend their methods and findings effectively. Ultimately, it seeks to create a transparent dialogue about AI’s use in evidence building, thereby fostering greater accountability among professionals in both legal and technical domains.
