Robert B. Hille, a partner in the firm’s Healthcare and Litigation Departments, will be a panelist for the presentation “AI, Ethics, Legal Malpractice – How to Avoid the Malevolent Consequences of the Witches Brew” at the New Jersey State Bar Association’s 2024 Mid-Year Meeting at The Shelbourne in Dublin, Ireland. The program is scheduled for Wednesday, November 6, 2024, from 8:30am – 9:45am in Salon 1.

What is artificial intelligence? What is generative AI? How is machine learning different from artificial intelligence? They are all areas of ethical concern. The use of artificial intelligence in the legal profession raises several ethical considerations for lawyers. While AI can provide valuable support to legal practitioners, it is essential for lawyers to remain mindful of their professional obligations and ethical duties. Some of the key ethical considerations include: confidentiality, competence and diligence, supervision, communication, avoiding the unauthorized practice of law, billing, bias and fairness, and responsibility and accountability.
