(Ethics) Generative AI and the Law: Navigating the Ethical Dangers of Adopting AI Tools for competent Legal Practice
From the internet to Web3, the legal industry has been historically slow in the adoption and implementation of disruptive technologies, and for good reason. Lawyers are duty bound by a code of ethics unlike any other profession that prevents practitioners from liberally diving into the latest trends. This seminar will discuss the practical implications of generative artificial intelligence on the legal profession, and how lawyers can reap the benefits of this groundbreaking technology while maintaining their ethical duties to their clients, the courts, and the profession.
