AI IN THE LAW – IS IT REVOLUTIONIZING THE PRACTICE OR SIMPLY CREATING MORE LIABILITIES?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a part of the world and the law for some time now but the emergence of generative AI has the potential to transform the practice of law and create new risks and liabilities for employers and for practicing lawyers. This panel of experienced practitioners will discuss the various types of AI, the impact on businesses and the practice of law, the present and future of AI legislation, and hot-button issues to watch out for in the near future.

THE PROLIFERATION OF ANTI-DEI DIRECTIVES – WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD?

In the aftermath of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to end race-conscious affirmative action in college admissions, anti-DEI sentiment has transcended academia. DEI programs, and DEI generally, across the country are under increased scrutiny as businesses reassess their programs and liabilities, and state and local governments around the country are beginning to propose and implement measures to restrict or eliminate race-conscious considerations in numerous and varied areas. Hear from our panel of experts including in-house attorneys and DEI practitioners about the status of DEI in the workplace and explore ideas for how to continue to promote and increase diversity in the wake of ever-increasing anti-DEI sentiment.
