Description

There is no stopping AI, and no industry is more enmeshed with these advancements than the legal profession. To address this concern, the American Arbitration Association (AAA) adopted an innovation mindset to encourage its staff to experiment with the ever-widening array of generative AI efforts, launching their AAAi Lab. AAA formed an internal Innovation Team so they could experiment with AI tools in a safe environment to see how it might assist their members and other legal professionals.

With a focus on how AI relates to Comment 8, Model Rule 1.1 of the ABA's Model Professional Rules of Conduct, the program will address how understanding technology is no longer optional, but rather a "...requisite knowledge and skill" to the practice of law. The program will help attorneys stay current on and evaluate "...the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology" while applying it to real world legal practice. , engage in continuing study and education and comply with all continuing legal education requirements to which the lawyer is subject.
