Ethics: Balancing the Scales: Ethics in the Era of Artificial Intelligence

The increasing use of AI in legal and claims workflows is driving new approaches to
maximizing efficiency and cost-effectiveness. However, this introduces significant challenges
related to PPI, compliance with laws such as HIPAA, potential bias in algorithms, potential data
breaches, and the preservation of attorney-client privilege. Legal and claims practitioners must
balance the benefits of AI with ethical and legal obligations. We'll discuss the shared
responsibility for open and transparent communication and the collaborative adoption of
protective measures to ensure compliance and confidentiality.

Ethics: Break the Cycle: Explore Fraud through Ethical and Generational Lenses

Join us for an interactive discussion of the multifaceted issue of fraud, dissecting the ethical
challenges surrounding both the temptation to commit fraud and the responsibility to report it.
Examine how fraud continues to escalate, with particular attention to its growing influence in
the digital age and the gig economy. Explore how perceptions of fraud differ across
generations and how attitudes toward committing and reporting fraud are shaped by societal
influences, technological advancements, and evolving values. Understand the systemic
barriers that hinder effective prosecution of fraudsters. Discuss the legal frameworks and
explore innovative solutions to strengthen deterrence and enforcement and actionable
strategies to foster a culture

Join this discussion of potential liability and ethical dilemmas stemming from Artificial
Intelligence generally and in the practice of law. Panelists will explore ways to balance
innovation with compliance, and the AI products and workflows that are emerging to support
the legal practice for in-house counsels and litigators.
