Rebroadcast: Artificial Intelligence and the Legal Profession

June 26, 2024

Overview

As artificial intelligence and machine learning continue to permeate the legal profession, lawyers are confronted with evolving challenges and opportunities. While these tools may be helpful in streamlining operations to increase efficiency, they also come with a host of ethical considerations.

This program delves into the practical and ethical dimensions of incorporating AI technology into your legal practice, emphasizing the critical role of professional judgment in ensuring ethical, responsible, and equitable use of data.

Key areas addressed:

  • Navigating the responsible use of generative AI in legal practice and the implications of these tools

  • Ethical considerations, including opaque algorithms, addressing potential bias, client confidentiality, data privacy, and obtaining informed consent from clients

  • Addressing inherent risks

  • How might AI alter the practice of law?

Join our panel of experts for an engaging moderated discussion on the intersection of AI and the legal profession, empowering you to proactively address the transformative impact of technology on your practice while upholding the highest ethical standards.
