Jason McDonald Consulting has announced new content focused on social media and expert witness services, alongside a new course at Stanford Continuing Studies set to begin in January 2027. The update aims to help marketers, attorneys, and brands navigate the increasingly complex intersection of social media, artificial intelligence, and legal disputes.
The new content combines Dr. Jason McDonald's experience as a social media instructor with his work as a social media expert witness. According to the announcement, the updated resources explain how artificial intelligence is reshaping the social media landscape. Dr. McDonald noted that social media remains vital even as AI transforms the field, and he is exploring how to use AI in social media without compromising output quality. The new efforts are detailed on his updated social media page and his social media expert witness services page.
The importance of this announcement lies in the growing legal and technical challenges surrounding social media. As brands compete online, conflicts such as trademark infringement on Facebook ads, through search engine optimization, or via Google Ads have become more common. TikToks and other content can also be used to spread counterproductive material against competitors or individuals. These situations involve complicated technical processes that are difficult to explain to a judge or jury, making the role of a social media expert witness critical. The updated content is designed to help attorneys understand the value of such experts when assessing the technical impact of social media in litigation.
Dr. McDonald is also an advocate for using artificial intelligence in social media marketing, but he cautions that doing so sophisticatedly is not trivial. Without a deep understanding of AI's limitations, content creation can become substandard. His new Stanford Continuing Studies course, a digital marketing survey, will focus heavily on social media and artificial intelligence, reflecting his ongoing effort to educate professionals on these intertwined topics.
For those seeking robust information on Dr. McDonald's expert witness services, additional details are available through his SeaK Experts profile. The announcement underscores the need for businesses and legal teams to stay informed about the technical and legal ramifications of social media, especially as AI continues to alter how content is created and disseminated.
