The opportunities of artificial intelligence (AI) for lawyers are enormous, specifically: enhanced efficiency in legal research, drastically improved document review and analysis, predictive analysis and contract analysis and management.

Lawyers have a professional duty to understand the basics of AI and to use it for the clients benefit but also an ethical duty to understand the risks and challenges of such use – from bias to job skills to reliability and accountability.

This session will look at the AI Act. What does it means to be human centred or have ethical artificial intelligence (AI) focus? What is in the future for the development of AI? The session will delve deeper into each area so that there is a well-informed approach about its use within legal practice.
