The premise

Witnesses crumble on questions they didn't see coming; AI generates the bank you rehearse.

What AI does well here

Generate cross-examination questions from the witness's documents and prior statements
Cluster questions by attack vector (credibility, recollection, bias, contradiction)
Flag the 3 questions most likely to draw a damaging answer

What AI cannot do

Replace the witness's preparation with their own attorney
Coach demeanor

Practice this safely

Use a real but low-risk workflow from your day. Treat AI as a drafting and organizing layer, then verify the output before anyone relies on it.

Ask AI to explain witness preparation in plain language, then underline anything that sounds uncertain or too broad.
Give it one detail from "AI for witness prep question banks" and ask for two possible next steps plus one reason each step might be wrong.
Check deposition prep against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
