AI: Embrace, Adopt, Safeguard (On Demand)

Online

This On Demand was originally recorded on 1 August 2024.


If you are in legal practice and not yet using AI, now is the time to start. AI is ubiquitous and continuously evolving – even as you read this. The question is no longer whether to use it, but how to best integrate it into your practice. In New Zealand, the absence of specific legislation for AI is concerning. Legal professionals must navigate existing laws and develop bespoke policies accordingly.

This On Demand will cover various types of AI and their capabilities, policy issues, strategies for mitigating risks, and best practices for implementation. These topics are crucial for enhancing your practice, serving your clients effectively, and engaging with other stakeholders.
