Brave New World:

What will Artificial Intelligence do to the practice of law:

Is it a Blessing or a Curse?
 

Tuesday, October 9, 2018 from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.

Janet M. Blumberg Hall, University of Connecticut School of Law

55 Elizabeth Street, Hartford, CT

 

Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) and Machine Learning have the potential to transform law firms and the legal sector. But how are they doing that? While some see AI as replacing and disrupting the careers of future lawyers, others see it as an area of promise that will create innovative and efficient ways for lawyers to conduct research, control costs, communicate with clients, market their practice, and manage business. This Roundtable will provide a forum for discussion of how AI and other legal technologies are changing the practice of law. Will legal technologies like AI give lawyers a better way to practice? Will they allow more people access to legal resources and achieve better outcomes? Will they provide opportunities for employment and practice development? Are they susceptible to bias and manipulation that could affect outcomes? Or will they relegate lawyering to an antiquated profession? Please join us for an enlightening and engaging conversation of the future of our profession.
