Ralph Losey, December 22, 2025 Google AI Adds to My Last Article I used Google’s NotebookLM to analyze my last article, Cross-Examine Your AI: The Lawyer’s Cure for Hallucinations. I started with the debate feature, where two AIs have a Read More …
The article emphasizes the importance of cross-examining AI as legal practitioners increasingly utilize it for research. Lawyers have faced sanctions for blindly accepting AI-generated information, leading to fabricated legal citations. By applying structured questioning, lawyers can enhance AI’s utility while mitigating risks, ensuring its outputs are accurate and reliable.
Ralph Losey, December 1, 2025 (25 minute read) For years, technologists have promised that fully autonomous AI Agents were just around the corner, always one release away, always about to replace entire categories of work. Then Stanford and Carnegie Mellon Read More …
Ralph Losey discusses the implications of Google’s recent breakthrough in quantum computing, achieving what they call “verifiable quantum advantage” with their Willow quantum chip and Quantum Echoes algorithm. This breakthrough allows quantum machines to perform tasks 13,000 times faster than top supercomputers, creating reproducible results that can be verified by other quantum devices. Losey emphasizes the significance of this advancement for both science and law, suggesting it defines a new evidentiary standard for machine-generated results. He argues that quantum computing could lead to profound changes in legal practices, particularly regarding the nature and authenticity of evidence.
In October 2025, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis for their groundbreaking work on quantum tunneling, which demonstrated that macroscopic circuits can behave like quantum entities. This breakthrough laid the foundation for quantum computing advancements, including Google’s quantum chip, Willow, which achieved a calculation in five minutes that would take classical supercomputers ten septillion years. Google subsequently acquired Atlantic Quantum to enhance its quantum technology. As quantum mechanics intersects with law, practitioners must adapt to evidentiary standards that account for probabilistic outcomes and quantum-derived evidence, ensuring reliable authentication processes.
