Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a buzzword; it is rapidly becoming a standard tool in legal practice, from research to drafting. However, for New York attorneys, the adoption of these tools comes with a specific set of ethical obligations and risks. This 90-minute session cuts through the hype to provide a practical roadmap for using AI safely and effectively. We will explore how to balance the efficiency of new technology with your professional duties of competence and confidentiality, ensuring you stay ahead of the curve without jeopardizing your license.
Topics will include:
- The Ethics of AI: Understanding your Duty of Competence (Rule 1.1) and Supervision in the age of algorithms.
- Confidentiality Traps: Why inputting client data into public tools (like standard ChatGPT) can be an immediate ethics violation.
- Avoiding "Hallucinations": Practical tips for verifying AI-generated citations and ensuring accuracy in your filings.
- Disclosure: When and how you need to inform clients and the courts that you are utilizing AI tools.
- Practical Application: A look at current "safe" use cases for legal research, document summarization, and routine drafting.
