AI is coming for lawyers, and Chat GPT is leading the way. Alexa isn’t too far behind…and so are deep fakes. Join the “CLE Performer” Stuart Teicher, Esq., as he explores the never-ending problems with the hottest technologies out there. In this program, Mr. Teicher will…

  • Teach about the software itself — Chat GPT is a Large Language Model, and he’ll explain what that means for lawyers (Competence, Rule 1.1).
  • Reveal the ethical hotspots like confidentiality, safeguarding client property, and supervision.
  • Explore the problems with the “reasonable expectation of privacy” standard.
  • Explain deep fakes, and look into the future to explore the ethical issues (Rules 2.1, and 3.3).

You will be eligible for 2 hours of Ethics credits and 1 hour of Professionalism credit through this program.
