By Melissa "Rogo" Rogozinski and Steve Salkin
November 01, 2023

The use and integration of technology into the practice of law is among the most exciting and controversial subjects being addressed in law firms, courtrooms and law schools everywhere. The reality of AI is causing many legal professionals to wonder whether they may be replaced by the ever-evolving technology.

Panelists included Stephanie Wilkins, Editor-in-Chief of Legaltech News, Steve Salkin, Editor-in-Chief of Law Journal Newsletters, and Ralph Losey, Esq. of Losey Law, PLLC.

Artificial intelligence is — and will continue to be — an extraordinarily powerful tool with the potential to provide great benefits to society and one that also poses a serious danger if appropriate guardrails are not constructed while the technology is still young. Importantly, the creators and most enthusiastic promoters of AI all agree that regulation is needed to ensure that AI does not exceed boundaries that threaten national security, the integrity of voting infrastructure, or the trust of the public in the veracity and reliability of the information they receive.
