"AI ?.0 – AI Recent Developments and Impacts for In-House Lawyer"

AI and particularly LLMs and GPTs continue to develop at a rapid pace; and more companies, law departments and law firms are adopting or looking to adopt different tools and practices.  Join us for a lively panel discussion on current developments, different tools in-house and outside lawyers are considering and adopting, and risks and opportunities affecting the in-house practice and the overall legal services market.  While the discussion and information will be about AI our speakers promise that they will appear (virtually on Zoom) as themselves and not as AI facsimiles.

“The Pro Se AI Litigant”
As access to generative AI tools become readily available to individuals, the use of AI is being used more often by pro se litigants to prepare arguments and draft complaints, motions, and demands. With the use of these tools by pro se litigants there are increased concerns over frivolous filings and reliance on hallucinations (citations to non-existent case law or statutes). Lawyers will need to be prepared to recognize the use of AI by pro se litigants, explain to clients the use and challenges of this technology, and respond to frivolous arguments and citations. Courts will need to consider whether pro se litigants who use AI for legal pleadings and arguments are subject to ethical rules.  

Speakers: Jo Tatarko, Partner and Ali Nienaber, Attorney – Perez Morris
