The Great AI Debate - Is AI a Threat to the Legal Profession?

A presentation at Smokeball Spark in in Sydney NSW, Australia by Fiona McLay

The emergence of artificial intelligence platforms such as ChatGPT have sparked significant debate regarding the future of the legal industry. In early 2023, news broke that an AI powered program would for the first time in human history represent a client in court, and so arose the question – Will platforms such as ChatGPT ultimately benefit society’s access to justice, or do these new platforms represent a threat to law as we know it?

Join us at the Great Debate as four industry thought leaders and self-proclaimed AI enthusiasts come head-to-head and debate the key ethical considerations that have emerged with the rise of ChatGPT.
