Artificial Intelligence: Ethical and Legal Crossroads in a Changing World

Description:

The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has generated an endless list of questions—not only for regulators and legal practitioners—but also for the entire world. This disruptive change is far from being solely a technical shift. In fact, it presents an opportunity for a deep ethical discussion about what AI can do (and must do) and what should be forbidden. Along these lines, different regulatory approaches are emerging, with many following a risk management approach already implemented in some data privacy statutes. 

The aim of this one-hour interactive webinar is to discuss these regulatory approaches, identify advantages and disadvantages, and explore areas for improvement. The dialogue among the panelists will provide the audience with an overview of the US, EU, and Brazilian attempts to regulate Artificial intelligence.

Panelists:

Professor Marco Antonio Loschiavo Leme de Barros, Assistant Professor and Researcher at Mackenzie Presbyterian University

Professor Pablo Iannello, Director of the Program in Law and Technology, University of Dayton School of Law

Ms. Monica Hayes, Graduate University of Dayton School of Law Online LL.M. Program (Data Privacy, Tech, Compliance, Corporate & Commodities Counsel)

Mastering Smart Contracts: Being Smart about Consumer Law

Description:

Growing more popular every day, the concept of smart contracts is intriguing. What are they and what is their legal validity? Are they easier to enforce than traditional contracts? When does a smart contract become binding on the parties involved? These are just some of the questions posed to law & tech practitioners on a regular basis.

The aim of this one-hour interactive webinar is to provide answers to these questions by unlocking insights from our panelists. We will discuss the application of smart contracts in specific areas where they are commonly used—such as issuing crypto assets and formalizing consumer contracts.

Professor Victor Herrada, Professor Contratado, Universidad de Piura- Peru

Professor Pablo Iannello, Director of the Program in Law and Technology, University of Dayton School of Law

Law + Tech: Pioneering the Digital Frontier in Legal Practice

Description:

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the practice of law. It promises to provide attorneys with high-quality research, document drafting, discovery, and legal strategy. It can perform these tasks in a matter of minutes, when they traditionally required many concentrated working hours. This shift will significantly improve attorneys’ ability to efficiently and effectively practice law, while saving clients billions of dollars each year. The practice of law will never be the same.

In its relative infancy, legal AI has already directly contributed to many attorneys’ violations of the rules of professional responsibility in their jurisdictions. Unwitting or overworked attorneys, for example, have drawn the ire of the judiciary by submitting briefs with “ghost” citations to non-existent legal precedent. But the rules of professional responsibility require attorneys to maintain competence in the use of technology in practice, and ignoring AI is not a viable option.

In this one-hour interactive webinar, the panelists will discuss this tension, highlight the benefits of AI to the legal profession, and warn of some of the professional responsibility concerns associated with its use.

Panelists:

Professor Pablo Iannello, Director of the Program in Law and Technology, University of Dayton School of Law
