The Intersection of Ethics and Artificial Intelligence: What Lawyers Need to Know


Artificial intelligence, or AI, has been a huge boon to the legal profession. But there's a reason that the experts are talking about "dark AI" crimes (spoiler alert: the most dangerous crimes involve deepfakes) and fretting about the decisions made by "black box" AI.

To be competent, an attorney needs to understand how AI works — and may indeed be required to use AI if it would reduce costs, produce faster and more reliable results, etc. How does an attorney measure the transparency and trustworthiness of AI? How would a lawyer know whether AI technology reflects the biases and prejudices of its developers and trainers, leading to skewed results?

In August 2019, the American Bar Association adopted a long-awaited resolution urging courts and lawyers "to address the emerging ethical and legal issues related to the usage of artificial intelligence ("AI") in the practice of law." Developments since then have been fast and furious as AI became an integral part of the practice of law.

Join our experts as they explain a lawyer's ethical considerations when evaluating and using AI in your law practice.
