Law and AI: What Lawyers Need to Know Before the Tools Know Too Much
Join the University of Louisville AI Forum for a conversation on how artificial intelligence is changing the practice of law. Jeffrey A. McKenzie, Partner at Dentons, and Susan Tanner, Associate Professor at Brandeis School of Law, will discuss how lawyers are using AI, what risks and ethical questions the tools raise, and what legal professionals should be thinking about as AI becomes part of ordinary practice. The session will begin with a moderated discussion and then open for audience Q&A.
