E06: The AI Revolution with Tom Davies

Doctors are already using AI to process their briefs. Some are using it well. Some are using tools they really shouldn't be. And almost nobody is talking about it openly.In this episode, Jess Marshall sits down with Tom Davies - solicitor and medico legal technologist - to examine what artificial intelligence actually looks like inside a medico legal practice, why the trust problem is the only problem that really matters, and what the courts are scrambling to figure out before the technology runs ahead of them.The 800-page problem - what we pretend experts can do with vast documentation, and what they actually doHallucination and the trust layer - why traceability back to the source material is everythingWhat AI can do beyond reading documents - dictation, transcription, and report structuringThe moment a sceptical expert's eyes "popped out of his head" — and what the technology showed himThe court guidelines - NSW's 2025 practice direction, Victoria's approach, and where Tom thinks this is all headingWhy intent matters - how the same technology produces either precision or sloppiness depending on what you're asking it to doSome of this is already settled. Much of it is still being worked out. None of it is going away.Brought to you by Medicolegal Melbourne. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
