GAI applications, of which ChatGTP is a prominent example, were launched in late 2022. Fueled by internet data, including copyrighted works, GAI applications are capable of generating text, images, videos, or other data, that making their way into the court rooms. Some see GAI as efficiency tools; some see GAI as a confounder and creator of mischief, and in some courtrooms, judges face scientific reliability and authenticity issues linked with this emerging technology. This CLE program will be an interactive session looking at the ethical implications of these GAI use cases and related evidentiary issues for attorneys and judges.
This program will also delve into the nature of GAI, consider how GAI might be used or misused, and address causes of action that might be brought arising out of GAI, including privacy issues arising out of the use of personal and confidential corporate data, all of which might lead to claims of, among other things, copyright, or trademark infringement. The presenters will examine how the Model Rules of Professional Conduct and the Model Rules of Judicial Conduct apply to the use of GAI.
Please mark your calendars for August 2, 2024, at 10:30 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. for an excellent and timely interactive panel discussion. Registrants are eligible to receive CLE credit for this free program.
