AI is embedded in legal research platforms, case management tools, and e-discovery systems. Yet the adoption of these tools has outpaced practitioners&#8217; understanding of their limitations and risks, particularly with respect to bias, equity, and professional responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>This CLE program, the first of a series, equips New York attorneys with a practical, rigorous foundation for navigating AI in legal practice. Drawing on the findings of the New York Judiciary&#8217;s Bias and Equity Subcommittee of the Advisory Committee on AI &amp; the Courts, and leading scholarship on AI bias in the legal industry, the curriculum addresses both the systemic challenges AI poses to equal justice and the specific professional responsibility obligations attorneys must satisfy when deploying these tools.<\/p>\n<p>Agenda<\/p>\n<p>1:00<br \/>\np.m.<br \/>\n\u2013<br \/>\n1:05<br \/>\np.m.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome and Introduction<\/p>\n<p>1:05<br \/>\np.m.<br \/>\n\u00a0\u2013<br \/>\n2:05<br \/>\np.m.<\/p>\n<p>AI Fundamentals: Artificial Intelligence, Bias &amp; Equity in Legal Practice<\/p>\n<p>Professor Xuechunzi Bai,<br \/>Neubauer Family Assistant Professor,<br \/>Department of Psychology,<br \/>University of Chicago, IL<\/p>\n<p>Luca CM Melchionna, Esq.,<br \/>Chair of the Business Law Section, NYSBA,<br \/>Member of the Advisory Committee on AI and the Courts,<br \/>Melchionna, PLLC, New York<\/p>\n<p>1.0 Credit in Diversity, Inclusion and Elimination of Bias\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2:05\u00a0<br \/>\np.m.<br \/>\n\u2013<br \/>\n2:10<br \/>\np.m.<\/p>\n<p>Closing<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Thank You to our Sponsor!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nycourts.gov\/advisory-committee-artificial-intelligence-courts\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Advisory Committee on Artificial Intelligence &amp; the Courts <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Diversity, Inclusion &amp; Elimination of Bias Credit(s):<\/p>\n<p>                                          Professor Xuechunzi Bai, University of Chicago<br \/>\n                                          Luca CM Melchionna, Esq., Melchionna PLLC<\/p>\n<p>\n                Section Member Price:<\/p>\n<p>                    Free<\/p>\n<p>\n                Non-Member Price:<\/p>\n<p>                    &amp;dollar;395.00<\/p>\n<p>Sponsoring Committee Group<\/p>\n<p>                                  Business Law Section<br \/>\n                                  Committee on Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technologies<br \/>\n                                  Committee on Continuing Legal Education<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Artificial Intelligence, Bias &amp; Equity in Legal Practice Artificial intelligence is a tool that informs the professional activity&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":339738,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[9,11,10,49,51,50],"class_list":["post-339737","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-new-york-state","tag-new-york-state-headlines","tag-new-york-state-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=339737"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339737\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/339738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=339737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=339737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=339737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
