Summary
Generative Artificial Intelligence (A.I) refers to the ability of machines to mimic functions normally associated with humans. The technology can be used to write compelling content, answer questions, and fulfill commands instantly. Advances like ChatGPT, Harvey AI, and the technology’s recent passage of the bar exam have raised massive concerns about its potential impact on the legal profession. While there is still much to understand about the full implications of generative A.I, one thing is clear: the future is here. As we embark on this new wave of innovation, how will you adapt? This program features demonstrations on how AI is used, an hour of ethics on how attorneys can use AI consistent with our ethical obligations, and a panel discussion on how to implement AI in your practice and advise your clients on the legal pitfalls of using AI.
