Featuring CSLTF's Gage Javier and Harvey Rishikof, this panel served as a primer for policymakers, offering a concise overview of generative AI's definitions and key concept. Panelists provided expert opinions to aid Congress as it seeks to develop federal legislation to ensure the U.S. will continue to maintain and defend its position as the most innovative and industrious country in the world while preserving cherished American liberties and mitigating potential risks.

With the increasing ubiquity of AI systems, the legal community must consider the ethical and professional risks and responsibilities as we embrace these new technologies. Watch this distinguished panel of experts discuss how the legal community must adapt to these new systems and what lawyers must know to protect themselves, their firms, their clients, and the public.
