Red Pill or Blue Pill: The Ethics of Using Generative AI in Legal Practice
Some lawyers will get rich using AI in their practices; others will get sued and disciplined. Join us in this fast-paced, conversational discussion regarding the latest developments in the use of AI in legal practice and the associated ethical rules and hazards. Do the benefits outweigh the risks? What are the common threats to your firm’s well-being if you decide to employ generative AI in your practice? This discussion will help lawyers:
- Identify risks arising from the use of generative AI that could result in rule violations, disciplinary complaints, and legal malpractice claims
- Devise strategies to minimize and manage those risks
- Comply with the Rules of Professional Conduct and related duties
- Create measures giving reasonable assurance that all lawyers and non-lawyers in the firm conform to the Rules of Professional Conduct
