Session I - From Terminator to Teammate: Navigating AI’s role in the modern legal practice - Troy Doucet and Tom Martin
In just two short years, AI has evolved from a toddler to a teenager, profoundly impacting industries, including law. With a quick dive into the background of AI and what’s happening now, even those terrible at math can geek out over the fascinating process behind training AI’s “brain.” But in the courtroom, avoiding AI-related missteps is critical, especially when considering ethical standards like those from Swartz, the ABA, and state rules. While some lawyers might prefer digging a ditch with a hand shovel rather than embracing new tech, practical AI tools and software options are transforming legal practice. Just like lawyers once feared email, AI's future—whether it becomes a Terminator-like threat or a collaborator—raises essential questions about when Skynet will “come online” and how the legal field can harness it responsibly.
