Join us for an AI and the Law talk with Prof. Andrew Perlman, who will discuss the implications of generative AI for legal services. The event will be moderated by Dr. Hannes Westermann, a postdoctoral researcher at McGill University Faculty of Law.

Abstract

This talk will discuss the impact of generative AI on the legal industry. It will include a description of what generative AI is, how legal professionals can use it (and how they shouldn’t), and what it all means for the future of legal services. The talk will include a demonstration of existing technology along with suggestions for how legal professionals and law schools should adapt.
