Session: AI, Ethics, and the Fear of Breaching Privilege
As AI becomes more embedded in the legal workflow, concerns about confidentiality, privilege, and data security are at an all-time high. This session will provide a framework for evaluating technology vendors, understanding compliance standards, and distinguishing between generative AI and traditional speech recognition tools.
Attendees will leave equipped with the knowledge and tools to safeguard privilege while responsibly integrating modern AI solutions into their practice.
