Seminar Description


Mr. Virzi will discuss, from a practical and largely non-technical perspective, how and why Generative AI makes an excellent legal assistant but a lousy lawyer, pushing back against the fear that AI is threatening to replace lawyers. He will also discuss the ethics of AI from the perspective that the ethics issues surrounding lawyers' use of AI are not new and that existing ethics rules accommodate AI as a legal tool in the same way they have accommodated advances in technology for decades.
