Attorney Ethics Liability for Artificial Intelligence Errors: Emerging Issues for Users of AI Systems
Welcome! Strafford is now BARBRI! The expert courses you know from the trusted global leader in legal education.
About the Course
Introduction
This CLE webinar will provide attorneys with an in-depth analysis of potential ethical risks and liability stemming from AI tool errors when used in the practice of law. The panel will discuss applicable ethical rules, the use of AI tools in a law practice, pitfalls to avoid, and other key issues.
Description
The ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 1.1 requires attorneys to "provide competent representation to a client." Judicial Codes of Conduct require similar competence obligations. The use of artificial intelligence tools are increasing in use across the entire legal practice industry. Attorneys and judges have an ethical duty to be competent when using AI or other technology in their practice.
Artificial intelligence tools are now more advanced and are able to initiate or adapt actions independently, including the ability to execute multi-step tasks based on user input. The use of these AI tools is riddled with potential ethics liability and risks and attorneys must be aware and take action to mitigate the risks associated with these tools.
While AI and other technology is opening new doors with time-saving tools, the technology has limitations that could be problematic if left unchecked. The limitations typically center around the accuracy of its output and the data used to train its systems. Proper oversight is critical when using AI tools in the practice of law.
Listen as our panel discusses ethical risks and liability stemming from AI errors when used in the practice of law, applicable ethical rules, pitfalls to avoid, and other key issues.
