Webcast looks at 'Generative AI and Judges: How Are They Getting Along?'

The Practising Law Institute (PLI) will present “Generative AI and Judges: How Are They Getting Along?” as a live webcast on Tuesday, August 8, beginning at 1 p.m.

Generative artificial intelligence (”GAI”) burst into the public mind in the fall of 2022. Since then, it has gone mainstream and is a constant feature of articles and speculation about its future. Unsurprisingly—and inevitably—GAI will become a “feature” of civil litigation, either as an element of a claim or defense or a subject of discovery. Courts have already begun to address GAI in various contexts, including its use as a research tool.

This briefing will look at GAI as a means of conducting legal research. The briefing will also examine how courts have dealt or may deal with GAI and what litigation might arise from GAI. Topics to be discussed include:

• GAI and legal research - what can and should it be asked to do
• Consequences of “hallucinations” created by GAI
• GAI-related obligations imposed by courts
• What causes of action GAI might give rise to

In-house counsel, outside attorneys, litigators, privacy, technology, and other allied professionals interested in a better understanding of the use of and issues surrounding GAI in litigation and as a research tool should attend.

Course materials will be available to attendees prior to the start of the program. Cost for the webcast is $329. To register or for additional information, visit www.pli.edu and click on “programs.”
