ABA President Mary Smith – Impact of AI on the Legal Profession

As the national voice for the legal profession, the ABA must play a leadership role in helping to identify for the legal community the benefits and risks of continually changing AI and machine-learning systems and capabilities.

Issues

The AI Task force will focus on six critical issues: AI and the Profession, AI Risk Management, AI and Access to Justice, AI Governance, AI Challenges – Generative AI, and AI and Legal Education.

ABA Leadership on AI

With every transformation comes complex and challenging legal and ethical questions for the legal profession. At a time when private and public sector organizations are moving rapidly to design, develop, deploy, and use AI systems and capabilities, it is critical for the ABA to make recommendations and articulate principles to help ensure that the creation and incorporation of AI is done in accordance with the law and well-accepted legal standards.
