Is AI saving the justice system—or setting it up for disaster? That’s the question we’re tackling in today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show. Artificial intelligence is everywhere—powering chatbots, writing briefs, even shaping how cases are prosecuted and defended. But is it making things fairer… or just faster?

Former federal prosecutor and Texas defense attorney Lance Kennedy joins Brian to unpack how AI is quietly reshaping the courtroom, from automating legal research to predicting verdicts—and where that could go dangerously wrong. What happens when the “guardrails” come off, and an AI system starts making real-world decisions about guilt, punishment, or even life and death?

Brian and Lance dive deep into the tension between innovation and ethics. Is AI a revolutionary tool for justice reform—or a ticking time bomb that could magnify bias and bureaucracy? They explore the scary “trolley problem” of AI-driven enforcement, the outdated state of government tech, and how automation might finally replace the inefficiency and red tape that plague our legal system.

But it’s not all doom and gloom. Lance explains how AI is actually improving efficiency in law firms, streamlining processes, and freeing up human attorneys to focus on the cases that truly matter. Together, they discuss how smart use of technology can empower—not replace—people, and why understanding AI today will determine who thrives tomorrow.

If you’ve ever wondered how technology, ethics, and justice collide—or what the rise of AI really means for jobs, law, and freedom—this episode is your wake-up call. Watch now and see why the future of justice might depend on how we use AI… not whether we can.
