Description

The ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 1.1 requires attorneys to "provide competent representation to a client." The use of Agent AI and other artificial intelligence tools are increasing in use across the legal practice industry. Attorneys have an ethical duty to be competent when using Agent AI or other technology in their practice.

Agent AI systems are artificial intelligence technologies that differ from reactive AI in that they are able to initiate or adapt actions independently, including the ability to execute multi-step tasks based on user input. The use of Agent AI is riddled with potential ethics liability and risks and attorneys must be aware and take action to mitigate the risks associated with these tools.

While Agent AI and other technology are opening new doors with time-saving tools, the technology has limitations that could be problematic if left unchecked. The limitations typically center around the accuracy of its output and the data used to train its systems. Proper oversight is critical when using AI tools in the practice of law.

Listen as our panel discusses ethical risks and liability stemming from Agent AI errors when used in the practice of law, applicable ethical rules, pitfalls to avoid, and other key issues.
