One hallucinated citation can end your expert witness career

About this episode

One AI-hallucinated citation on cross-examination, and the expert witness career you built is over. It is already happening. Tracy Liberatore, a former physician assistant turned attorney and founder of the National Expert Academy, walks through the real court cases where clinical experts leaned on generative AI and watched their reports, and their reputations, get thrown out. This episode is based on her article "Expert witness credibility is destroyed by AI opinions," published on KevinMD. You will hear why AI hallucinated citations are ending careers in medical-legal work, why one expert was allowed to keep AI in his workflow because he could account for every prompt, what responsible AI use actually looks like for clinicians writing expert reports, and the brain flip clinicians have to make to defend a process rather than a conclusion. If you do expert witness work, or are thinking about it, this conversation names the line you cannot cross.
