In the latest iteration of Legaltech Week, set to go live at 3 p.m. E.T. today, there is a palpable focus on the emerging legal challenges and controversies surrounding AI hallucinations. The session will delve into four separate incidents involving AI-generated fictitious legal documents, with one notably originating from a federal judge. This highlights the ongoing complexities and potential pitfalls of integrating AI in legal practice.
This week’s discussion will also feature a reflection on the recent American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) annual conference. Attendees are expected to engage in a critical analysis of the conference’s outcomes and their implications for the legal tech landscape.
Moreover, in an era where technological proficiency is increasingly seen as integral to legal practice, the question arises: Is it now considered malpractice for a lawyer not to leverage AI in their work? This provocative topic is set to stir considerable debate among legal professionals.
The panel for today’s session includes notable figures such as Nicole Black, legal technology columnist and legaltech evangelist at MyCase, and Stephen Embry of TechLaw Crossroads. Other regular contributors include Caroline Hill from Legal IT Insider and Victor Li of the ABA Journal, among others.
For those interested in a more detailed exploration of these topics, participation is open and free. Individuals can register here to attend and also access previous episodes through Apple Podcasts or YouTube.
