    • Ethical Consideration When Using AI
      Over the last 70 years, AI usage has greatly shifted from primarily research and government purposes, to now aiding everyday citizens with minor tasks. Without proper regulation and supervision of public access to AI systems, there's been a domino effect resulting in both positive and harmful impacts in our society.

      This seminar will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the ethical considerations involved in developing and deploying artificial intelligence technologies. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into various industries and aspects of our lives, recognizing and addressing the ethical implications is paramount.
    • Using AI to Help Mediators, Attorneys, and Parties- Practical Insights from the Real Practice Systems Coach
      Professor John Lande developed the artificially intelligent (AI) Real Practice Systems (RPS) Negotiation and Mediation Coach tool to help (1) attorneys anticipate challenges, strategize, and represent clients, (2) mediators enhance preparation, communication, and decision-making, and (3) disputing parties make better decisions.

      They can use it before, during, and after negotiation and mediation sessions to gain insights and refine strategies. In this program, Professor Lande will summarize RPS theory, describe how RPS Coach works, and demonstrate the system by inviting people to pose problems from their work. RPS Coach is an example of AI tools that will become increasingly available for dispute resolution practitioners. This program will be relevant to practitioners at every stage of practice. Insights from this program will be applicable to other tools.
    • What is AI?
      Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think and learn like humans. AI systems can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem solving and decision-making, often using data and algorithms, but require little to no human oversight. 

      With the integration of more technology into our everyday lives, many have expressed concerns surrounding the accessibility and regulation of AI. However, without a proper understanding of AI and its functionality, there's a higher possibility of improper usage of AI and difficulty with the public's assimilation to it. This seminar will provide you with a deeper understanding of foundational concepts and applications of AI and how to navigate AI as an enhancement tool in the legal profession.
