Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming how legal professionals draft, analyze, and communicate – but recent federal court decisions make clear that AI is not a lawyer, and information shared with AI tools may not be protected by attorney-client privilege.
This webinar will explore the legal and practical implications of using generative AI in litigation and advisory contexts, with a focus on emerging case law holding that AI-generated materials and communications with AI platforms are not privileged. We will also examine how courts are approaching AI use in filings, the risks of inadvertent disclosure, and what this means for legal strategy and compliance.
What we’ll cover:
- Introduction: What is AI? Applications, capabilities, and limitations (5 minutes)
- AI in the Courtroom: Judicial scrutiny of AI-assisted filings and advocacy (15 minutes)
- Privilege at Risk: Why AI communications may not be protected & key recent rulings (20 minutes)
- Regulatory & Ethical Landscape: Emerging guidance, enforcement trends, and professional responsibility (20 minutes)
- Risk Mitigation: Policies, safeguards, and best practices (20 minutes)
1.0 CLE credit hours approved for CA, IL, NY, OH, PA and TX. Other states may be available upon request.
