  Ethics of Artificial Intelligence in the Legal Profession

  Presenters: Ross Broudy and Patrick Austin of Woods Rogers

    
  

  Description: Generative AI “remixes” ethical issues in the practice of law in complex and unique ways.  While AI presents a trove of opportunities in the practice of law, attorneys prudently deploy these technologies.  This CLE covers bar association guidance on the ethical use of AI in the law and key issues related to the duty of competence, duty to protect client information, and supervisory responsibilities. Topics include understanding generative AI, the benefits and limitations of generative AI in the practice of law, discrimination and bias, and training data privacy issues.

  Areas of Law: Legal Ethics/Professional Responsibility, Data Privacy
  

  Must be present at the start of the CLE program until the end in order to receive credit(s).
