What Does It Mean to Be a Competent Lawyer in the Age of AI?
Berkeley Law recently announced a new artificial intelligence policy that prohibits AI use for any purpose in any exam situation. The University of Chicago Law School has banned first year law students from using electronic devices – laptops, tablets and phones – in the classroom. In light of these recent events, Prof. Robert Diab presents a timely discussion about whether law professors in Canada have an ethical or pedagogical duty to familiarize themselves with AI and develop methods of teaching students how to use it effectively. He also discussed the greater question of how AI has and will impact what it means to practice law competently.
