In this episode of AI for Business Owners, host Jeff Torello sits down with Brian H. Potts , veteran litigator and startup founder, and Kenny McLaren , CTO and systems designer, to explore how they've created a revolutionary AI product: Arbitrus, a private court system overseen by an AI judge. Designed to resolve civil disputes faster and more affordably than traditional courts or arbitration, Arbitrus challenges centuries of legal precedent by using specialized AI to render legally binding decisions. Brian and Kenny share the journey from a casual coffee meeting to a functional legal tech product that's already handling real-world cases. They discuss the tech stack, the philosophy behind AI in law, the hallucination problem, and why human lawyers and judges might soon have serious competition from software. This episode is essential listening for business owners, legal professionals, and anyone curious about how AI can disrupt deeply entrenched systems. Key Takeaways: From Courtrooms to Code: Why the traditional legal system doesn't work for most business disputes, and how arbitrage changes that.
