AI, Ethics, and the Fear of Breaching Privilege
As AI tools enter the legal workflow, attorneys face heightened concerns about confidentiality, privilege, and security. This session examines what lawyers need to know when evaluating technology vendors, including compliance frameworks, data handling policies, and the crucial distinctions between generative AI and traditional speech recognition. Participants will leave with a practical framework for safeguarding privilege while leveraging modern tools responsibly.
