## Posts

- [Disclosing AI Use, Part 4: The Limits of Disclosure](https://trudeau.ai/disclosing-ai-use-part-4-the-limits-of-disclosure/): AI-use disclosure can help readers understand how AI shaped the work, but it cannot do the work for the writer. Someone still has to verify the facts, exercise judgment, protect confidential information, and stand behind the final result.
- [Disclosing AI Use, Part 3: What to Say in an AI-Use Disclosure?](https://trudeau.ai/disclosing-ai-use-part-3-what-to-say-in-an-ai-use-disclosure/): A useful AI-Use Disclosure should not say everything, and it should not say nothing. It should say enough to help the audience understand what AI did, whether that use affects trust or reliance, and who remains responsible for the final product.
- [Disclosing AI Use, Part 2: What Counts as AI Use?](https://trudeau.ai/disclosing-ai-use-part-2-what-counts-as-ai-use/): AI-use disclosure should not turn on whether AI touched the work in some way. That question is too broad to be useful. The better question is what AI did. Did it help brainstorm? Edit? Draft? Analyze? Create media? Influence a decision? Those uses sit on a spectrum, and they do not all require the same kind of disclosure.
- [AI & the Work Worth Keeping in Legal Education](https://trudeau.ai/ai-the-work-worth-keeping-in-legal-education/): Pope Leo XIV’s Magnifica Humanitas does not tell law schools to fear AI or worship it. It asks a better question: what kind of people are our technologies forming? For legal education, that means teaching students to use AI while protecting the slow human work that builds judgment, responsibility, and professional identity. 
- [Disclosing AI Use, Part 1: The Problems with Disclosure](https://trudeau.ai/the-problems-with-ai-use-disclosure/): AI disclosure sounds simple until you ask what “AI use” actually means. Is brainstorming the same as drafting? Is editing the same as analysis? This post starts a series on why the goal should not be maximum disclosure, but meaningful disclosure that helps people understand what AI did, who reviewed it, and why it matters.
- [Video: How Law Students Can Benefit from AI (While Avoiding the Pitfalls)](https://trudeau.ai/video-how-law-students-can-benefit-from-ai-while-avoiding-the-pitfalls/): I’ve centered this post on a video where I tackle the ultimate paradox for law students: AI can double your learning gains, but it can also end your career before it starts. I dive into a concept I call "cognitive outsourcing"—the temptation to hand off hard mental work to a machine just because the output looks polished. Watch the full breakdown to see why "automation bias" is a silent killer and how to implement a four-step workflow that builds your legal judgment instead of replacing it. It’s about augmenting your intelligence, not outsourcing your brain.
- [AI Literacy for Law Students](https://trudeau.ai/ai-literacy-for-law-students/): This guide is about how to use AI in law school without letting it do the thinking for you. AI can make work feel easier and more finished than it really is. That’s useful in some moments and risky in others, especially when you’re still learning how to  exercise legal judgment. The goal isn’t to avoid these tools. It’s to use them in a way that actually helps you become a better lawyer. Download the free guide to learn more. 
- [The "Walkable" Car Wash: Why AI Still Needs a Human in the Driver’s Seat](https://trudeau.ai/the-walkable-car-wash-why-ai-still-needs-a-human-in-the-drivers-seat/): Context is king. While AI might be able to pass the Bar exam, it will sometimes tell you to walk to the car wash instead of taking your car there. This post explores why the AI sometimes produces logic fails and why your prompting skills are the ultimate safety net for AI adoption.
- [AI Literacy Is Becoming a Health Equity Issue: What Economist Impact’s New Roadmap Reveals](https://trudeau.ai/ai-literacy-is-becoming-a-health-equity-issue/): When AI starts explaining our health information, judgment matters more, not less. Drawing on patient experience and a recent Economist Impact report, this article explores why AI literacy is emerging as a prerequisite for equitable healthcare.
- [ChatGPT Health: Why Health Literacy Now Requires AI Literacy](https://trudeau.ai/chatgpt-health-why-health-literacy-now-requires-ai-literacy/): ChatGPT Health promises to help people understand their medical records and prepare for care. That could be a breakthrough. It could also magnify long-standing health literacy gaps and introduce new AI literacy risks if we are not careful. This piece looks past the hype to ask what this launch means for people who already struggle to make sense of health information, and what responsible design would actually require.
- [How to Build Your Own AI Tutor](https://trudeau.ai/how-to-build-your-own-ai-tutor-that-helps-students-learn/): The guide explains how to build an AI tutor that supports real learning rather than replacing it. It assumes you have already accepted that students are using AI and focuses on the harder work of designing boundaries, structure, and responsibility into how that AI shows up in your course.
- [Building an Ai Tutor that Aids Learning](https://trudeau.ai/building-an-ai-tutor-that-aids-learning/): Students are already using AI. Pretending otherwise does not help. This essay explains why I built an AI tutor designed to support thinking rather than replace it, and what that choice revealed about learning in an AI-mediated classroom. 
- [Welcome to the Classroom](https://trudeau.ai/welcome-to-the-classroom/): The Classroom is where Trudeau.ai stops thinking out loud and start helping you learn. This is a space for learning skills like clear writing, AI-assisted thinking, and professional judgment in a world where tools are powerful and human decisions still matter.
- [Welcome to the Conversation](https://trudeau.ai/welcome-to-the-conversation/): The Conversation is where I think in public on Trudeau.ai. This introductory post explains what you’ll find here: evolving ideas about law, AI, clarity, and human judgment—shared openly, thoughtfully, and without pretending to have final answers in a rapidly changing world.

I have taught legal writing, contract drafting, property law, business organizations, and health law, over my 20+ years of teaching in law schools. I’ve spent nearly two decades studying how people read, interpret, and act on legal, governmental,  and medical information.
