Navigation AI’s ethical dangers and best practices explored in free Bar webinar
The webinar “Attempted Intelligence: Ethical Considerations Surrounding the Use of AI” kicked off with an overview of artificial intelligence, comparing generative AI-produced work to an undercooked frozen dinner that “looks good on the outside” but is often cold when you take “a few bites,” according to Jonathan Grabb, The Florida Bar’s ethics counsel.
“[AI programs] do not have the capacity to fully understand and analyze — and create new information, new stories — in the way that the human brain does,” said Grabb, who has researched the ethical implications of generative AI and has written on the topic for The Florida Bar News.
The presentation was hosted by the Student Education and Admission to the Bar Committee and covered risk issues surrounding AI “hallucinations,” in which generative AI cites non-existent legal decisions, referencing recent cases to illustrate the risks. The panel also addressed concerns regarding client confidentiality and billing practices.
