""Deaths that go to inquests are there because they are a shock. What families want is to increase their understanding as to how their loved one has died," says Searle."
""My use of ChatGPT allowed my questions to be more focused on the technical aspects of the surgery and help fill the gaps left by not having experts to call upon.""
""Potential uses for the technology may eventually include assisting barristers' clerks, who negotiate fees and arrange their diaries, so they can make better use of advocates' time.""
""In addition to research, Searle is using the technology to create bespoke AI tools, including an app for calculating damages in clinical negligence claims.""
In spring 2024, a man in his mid-70s died unexpectedly after cardiac surgery, prompting a coroner's investigation. Anthony Searle, a clinical negligence barrister, sought to understand the circumstances surrounding the death. Frustrated by the coroner's refusal for an independent expert report, Searle turned to AI for assistance. He used ChatGPT to formulate focused questions about the surgery. Searle emphasizes data privacy and is exploring AI's potential in drafting legal documents and creating tools for calculating damages in clinical negligence claims.
