AI on Trial: Exploring Legal, Ethical, and Human Impacts with Dr. Jill Schiefelbein

What if your next AI chat could be held responsible for murder?

In this eye-opening episode of Thrive Loud, Lou Diamond welcomes AI strategist and communication expert Dr. Jill Schiefelbein to unpack one of the most controversial lawsuits in recent memory: a claim that ChatGPT was a co-conspirator in a deadly real-world crime. But as shocking as that sounds, Dr. Jill Schiefelbein brings logic, insight, and a positive outlook to the table, revealing how these high-profile cases could make our digital future both safer and more empowering for us all.

Listen in as they discuss:

• The reality behind lawsuit headlines, AI responsibility, and common sense in the courtroom
• The dangers of overregulation and why limiting access to AI could widen the digital divide
• Why most anxiety about AI isn’t actually about technology, but about timeless human fears—and how to overcome them
• The power and pitfalls of trusting AI (hello, hallucinated research papers and lemon juice bank robbers!)
• How AI can save time, enhance experiences, and drive real human connection—if you know how to use it

This episode is a must-hear for anyone who wants the facts (not just the headlines) on AI, legal liability, and how to thrive in a rapidly-changing world.
