The American Bar Association’s Task Force on Law and Artificial Intelligence recently released a report titled “Year I Report on the Impact of AI on the Practice of Law” that details the work of the group over the past year.
The AI Task Force, created in August 2023 by ABA President Mary Smith, brought together lawyers and judges from across the ABA to address the impact of artificial intelligence on the legal profession and the practice of law, provide insights on developing and using AI in a trustworthy and responsible manner, and identify ways to address AI risks.
The AI Task Force has concentrated its efforts on a broad array of legal issues related to AI that will affect the legal profession including:
• Ethical dilemmas
• The impact of AI on legal practice
• The challenges of generative AI
• Access to justice
• The integration of AI in the courts
• Advancements in legal education
• Strategies for risk management and governance
The report addresses these areas that impact lawyers and judges in the practice of law and provides insights and resources that will equip the legal community to effectively address and leverage these developments. It also lists programs and events related to AI presented by the AI Task Force in the past year, many of which are available to lawyers and members of the public at ambar.org/aiLaw.
Recognizing the enormous potential of AI for the legal profession and beyond, the AI Task Force will continue next year to provide valuable information and research for lawyers in all practice areas and to address to some of the most pressing and challenging legal issues facing us today.
The AI Task Force, in collaboration with ABA Science & Technology Law Section, also released a book titled “Artificial Intelligence: Legal Issues, Policy, and Practical Strategies,” which features contributions from more than 40 preeminent authorities offering practical strategies, legal analysis and reflections on the influence that AI will have on both the legal profession and the law.
