ChatGPT: Resources from our Articles and Webinars.
- April 19, 2023
- Dr. William Webber and John Tredennick
As the world of ChatGPT evolves, the Merlin team continues
to dive deep into its powerful features, functions and possibilities to better
understand what this exciting technology can do, how it works and how it may
impact the world in multiple ways.
A few weeks ago we had an opportunity to participate in
three EDRM webinars on ChatGPT, the revolutionary new AI program released
by OpenAI at the end of last year.
At the request of some of our attendees, we have created
this page to share copies of our slides and recent articles about ChatGPT.
We are also adding links to the webinars themselves, for anyone who missed the
original programs.

In addition, we’ve written several popular articles on different aspects of ChatGPT. The first two were published by American Lawyer Media earlier this year.

- Five questions we didn’t get to answer during ChatGPT 101.
- Magic and Hallucinations? Considering ChatGPT in ediscovery.
