Please join us for a hybrid meeting sponsored by the DRS Technology Committee, the Technology and the Legal Profession Committee, the ComFed Privacy, Data Security & Information Technology Litigation Committee, the ComFed Social Media & New Communication Technologies Committee, the EASL ADR Committee, and the Intellectual Property Section on Tuesday, May 7 at 5:30-7:00 PM, followed by a cocktail hour for in-person attendees. Once you click registration, you will have the option to choose in-person or virtual attendance.

The program will cover the practical, as well as the ethical, issues associated with chatbots and AI. Alex Paykin (the Chair of the Technology and the Legal Profession Committee) will provide a rare live demo of using a chatbot, and take questions during the demo. In addition, there will be a panel discussion on the ethical issues associated with the use of chatbots and other AI in legal proceedings. That panel, with Paul Gupta and Debbie Reperowitz (the Co-chairs of the DRS Technology Committee) will review Court, bar, and other official and proposed rules.

The aim of the program is to give lawyers greater ability to use chatbots and AI effectively and ethically. This is especially important because of recent findings that the legal profession is a laggard in using AI when compared to other professions. And it’s being said that “while AI may not replace you, those who use AI will replace you.”
