    Ethics and Artifcial Intelligence: What Lawyers Should Know (Live Replay from December 10, 2021)

    • Speakers

    Thank you

    Thank you for joining us today.

    Description

    The use of artificial intelligence is not some distant prospect. Many of the tools lawyers use today – online research platforms that suggest other areas for research, software packages that help complete forms or propose or assemble language, and discovery tools that sort through documents – are driven by artificial intelligence.

    These and other AI engineered legal tools raise substantial ethical issues.

    • Are they the unauthorized practice of law?
    • Have lawyers researched their capabilities such that they are competent to use them?
    • How must lawyers supervise their use by non-lawyer staff?

    This program provides a guide to ethics issues when using software and other technology tools based on AI in law practice.

    • What duties do lawyers have to investigate and understand AI in the tools they use?
    • Does AI constitute the unauthorized practice of law (UPL) in a state?
    • Do software packages that draft language and assemble forms violate ethics rules?
    • What supervisory and training obligations do lawyers have for non-lawyer staff using these tools?
    • Are there ethics concerns of using AI in discovery?
    • Must lawyers warn clients that they use AI?
