Generative AI’s Ethical Tightrope: Balancing Professional Responsibility with Pioneering Potential

Webinar | 12.11.24, 12:30 PM EST - 1:30 PM EST | CLE Offered

Generative AI offers remarkable opportunities to supercharge the ways in which we work across the legal industry. However, its integration into legal practice also presents significant ethical and professional challenges. This course will delve into both the challenges and opportunities, including a discussion of the American Bar Association’s first formal opinion on generative AI, Formal Opinion 512, and other ways in which the landscape has evolved over the past year, to provide an overview of the ethical considerations and best practices for using generative and other forms of AI in legal and legal adjacent work.

For the first time, we’re opening up this session, which forms a key part of our Crowell Generative AI training, to clients. This session is designed for any legal professional eager to harness AI tools while upholding the highest standards of professional responsibility. 

We’ll cover:

  • A Generative AI Refresher and Update on Its Use in Legal
  • True Tales of Irresponsible Generative AI Use
  • Ethical and Legal Obligations Implicated by Generative AI
  • Key Points of ABA Formal Opinion 512 (July 29, 2024)
  • Legal Department Perspectives on How Firms Should (Not) Use AI
  • Best Practices to Leverage Generative AI While Mitigating Risks and Complying with Ethical Obligation

A Deep Dive into the EU Pay Transparency Directive and the US Experience on Equal Pay 

In Collaboration with the IBJDuring this webinar we will dive into the European Directive on pay transparency that entered into force in June 2024 and has to be transposed for June 2026 in all EU Member States. This European Directive has the ambition to strengthen the application of the principle of equal pay for equal work or work of equal value between men and women, for all employees in all sectors. The Directive brings significant new reporting obligations and assessment obligations on employers that the EU Member States will publish. How will you have to calculate the threshold to know if your company as an employer falls under the scope of the Directive? And what happens when there is a gap in the equal pay? What will you have to do as an employer? What kind of enforcement does the Directive foresee? Lastly, did you know that in the US there is an Equal Pay Act that has been in force since 1963? How has that statute been applied in the US and what are the differences and similarities with the European Directive? Our special US guest will teach us some interesting US-insights.  ...
