The Ethics of AI and Machine Learning in Legal Practice

Large law firms and corporate legal departments increasingly use artificial intelligence and machine learning to assist in litigation, due diligence, and compliance matters. Besides offering higher efficiency and lower costs, legal analytics help inform legal strategy, improve case outcomes, and streamline business operations.

Yet professional judgment is still required to ensure that data is gathered and used in a competent and ethical manner.
Join Bloomberg Law for an informative 60-minute webinar that explores how large law firms and corporate counsel are using AI and legal analytics as part of their litigation practice, the ethical considerations of using AI and machine learning technology, and how to achieve the right blend of automation and human input.
Educational Objectives:

• Understand the scope and use of AI and machine learning in legal practice
• Explore various challenges of analytics and other AI applications
• Learn what ethical obligations are implicated by using AI tools in legal practice
• Gain strategies for ethically using AI on technology platforms.

1.0 General COA, 1.0 CLE Ethics. The event website does not say in what states, but the general Bloomberg website says:
"Bloomberg BNA is an approved provider of CLE credits in all states. Individual programs are pre-approved in California, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas. All other requests for program approval are subject to state-specific approval. The approval process may take approximately four to six weeks in some states. In the states where programs are pre-approved or Bloomberg BNA holds Approved Provider status, credits will be processed within one to three business days. If you do not see the state(s) in which that you are requesting CLE credit listed as a certificate option, Bloomberg BNA has not yet received approval for your selected course in that state, and the status is still “pending.” Pending approvals can take up to four to six weeks to process, depending on the location being requested. Once approval has been received, you will receive a second email from the system."
