An explosive writeup this month, as the August @bellingcat.com challenge was focused on the identification of explosive ordinance. You can read my solutions to Hidden Hazards here ediscoverychannel.com/2025/09/01/bellingcat-challenge-august-2025hidden-hazards/ #CTF #Bellingcat #OSINT #ExplosiveStuff

My solutions to the @bellingcat.com July Challenge are out, you can find my write up for "The Forgotten Files" here... digging into secrets from the past, finding clues from old maps, and even an AI failure regarding airbases. #OSINT #Bellingcat #Investigations #OpenSource

My write up for Bellingcat's June challenges is now live, you can find them here - ediscoverychannel.com/2025/07/14/b.... The July challenges are live, why not go and take a look?! #CTF #ArtCrime #OSINT #Investigations

Since my talk at Relativity Fest London last week, several people have asked me about the article I referenced about building bridges and working across silos. The LDI team have kindly agreed to let me republish the content #LDI #Silos #Disputes #eDiscovery ediscoverychannel.com/2025/06/17/b...

A little later than planned, but my write up for the May set of Bellingcat challenges ("Back in Time") is now up - you can find it here! ediscoverychannel.com/2025/06/09/b... #OSINT #Bellingcat #CTF #ChatGPT

My write up for the @bellingcat.com April Challenges is now online. This months theme was "Wild Lives" and included tracking down information on lions, tigers, giraffes... even geolocating a rabbit! You can read all about it here. #Bellingcat #CTF #OSINT #ChatGPT #Geolocation

I've shared my write up for the @bellingcat.com March Challenges, including my encounter with a somewhat passive aggressive arrogant Generative AI system! You can read all about it here. #CTF #OSINT #Bellingcat #ChatGPT #AggressiveAI

In this article I expand on the “eDiscovery Disconnect” discussed by Kelly Twigger. I cover Consultative v Transactional service providers, thoughts on the future, and how solutions like Legal Data Intelligence may assist going forwards. #eDiscovery #LDI #LegalDataIntelligence

A somewhat concerning use of the UK's Investigatory Powers Act being reported by the BBC and Washington Post www.bbc.co.uk/news/article.... One to keep an eye on. #Privacy #Apple

A recent development in California involving OpenAI training data could have a big impact on generative AI copyright and IP cases. I discuss that and some links to #DeepSeek in my latest article #ChatGPT #GenAI #NYT #copyright #NewYorkTimes #TrainingData

Happy New Year Everyone.

Last week was the final week of the December Challenge from Bellingcat. My write up for week four (including the geolocation of a cat!) can be found here. Congratulations to the Bellingcat team for putting together such a great challenge! #OSINT #CTF #Geolocation #Cats #AI #Investigation

A little late this week due to Christmas obligations, but week three of my Bellingcat Challenge series is now out... What more could you want for Christmas?! #OSINT #Bellingcat #investigations #geolocation #AI

CRAC (Creative Rights in AI Coalition) have responded to government proposals to allow AI companies such as OpenAI and Meta to train their systems on copyright protected work. They are not impressed, and demand that copyright laws be respected. #GenAI #AI #ChatGPT #Copyright

Sentencing is today in the Craig Wright contempt case. Wright did not appear yesterday, claiming at the last minute that he could not afford to travel. It seems increasingly likely that he may be facing jail time. #Bitcoin #Cryptocurrency #COPAvWright

New proposals would allow AI companies to train using copyrighted materials, but suggest that there could be a way for content creators to "opt-out". #GenAI #ChatGPT #CreativeIndustry #Copyright #CopyrightLaw #AI

Last week was week 2 of Bellingcat's December challenge. You can find my write up here. If you haven't joined in yet, why not?! A great opportunity to complete some OSINT challenges. #OSINT #Bellingcat #Investigations #CTF ediscoverychannel.com/2024/12/16/b...

You can read Doug's post on the update here - ediscoverytoday.com/2024/12/09/m...

My write up for week one of the Bellingcat Challenge is now up - ediscoverychannel.com/2024/12/09/b.... Challenge Week 2 starts today - go and check it out. #OSINT #Bellingcat #Investigations #Geolocation

The fact that OpenAI is one of the parties here is a consideration, but the decision that ChatGPT prompts and responses are discoverable in this case will send a chill down a few spines. The implications could be very interesting. #eDiscovery #ChatGPT #GenAI ediscoverytoday.com/2024/12/05/p...

I've spoken about the dangers of bias for AI systems in the past. It's interesting to see real world examples - while not relating to Generative AI, this is worth a read - www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Happy eDiscovery day to all those who celebrate!!

Really pleased to complete the five Bellingcat open source puzzles on day one. If you want to play along, you can join in at challenge.bellingcat.com Enjoy! #Bellingcat #OSINT #Investigations #Geolocation

Thrilled to have my two recent articles on Generative AI and eDiscovery adoption in the courts republished on the EDRM Blog! You can read Part One here - edrm.net/2024/11/gene... #EDRM #eDiscovery #GenAI #ChatGPT

Part two of my series on Generative AI and eDiscovery is out now. You can find it here ediscoverychannel.com/2024/11/19/g... #genAI #eDiscovery #legaltech #disclosure

A recent conference panel discussed the adoption of Generative AI in the courts for disclosure. There is lots to cover on this point and I wanted to share some of my thoughts. Part one is out now! #GenAI #GenerativeAI #eDiscovery #legaltechnology ediscoverychannel.com/2024/11/15/g...
