In this show Karl Schieneman, President and Founder of TestMyWitness has a conversation with Dr. Herb Roitblatt well known AI Data Scientist at Reliath AI and Legal Pioneer and Dr Stuart Hanscomb, Senior Lecturer at the University of Glasgow and author of Critical Thinking: The Basics on the limitations and challenges AI can present to lawyers and law students. We all recognize the potential benefits AI offers the legal community, but there is a downside we need to recognize and take steps to defend against. It is a fascinating conversation on an important topic for all lawyers.

This is a fun show as Karl Schieneman, President and Founder of TestMyWitness, interviews his good friend Tim Opsitnick, the new Executive Director of the influential Sedona Conference, which is a 3 decades old global think tank of lawyers and technologists who get together to move the law forward in a just way in areas where there is an intersection of law and technology. In addition to helping The Sedona Conference when it was formed, Tim brings many decades of experience as both a lawyer, businessman, and an entrepreneur. One of the best examples is his role in forming ESIBytes and supporting my efforts when the show first launched. Together, we brainstorm about what The Sedona Conference can look like going forward, as well as what ESIBytes 2.0 will look like. Maybe there can be a way to connect and help each other? We will explore this and other ideas.

Meet the host
Karl Schieneman is the original voice behind ESIBytes, the podcast he launched in 2008 to educate and connect the legal technology community. An attorney and MBA with degrees from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, Karl has built and sold three legal technology companies, earned an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award, and has been a pioneer in document review, predictive coding, and artificial intelligence. Today, he serves as President of TestMyWitness, an AI-powered witness preparation platform.
Throughout his career, Karl has authored books and articles, spoken at leading legal conferences across the country, and helped shape the adoption of predictive coding through landmark litigation, publications, and court-appointed service as a Special Master in complex federal cases. Despite these accomplishments, ESIBytes remains one of the projects he is most proud of, and he is excited to bring the podcast back to a new generation of legal professionals.
