EFF-Austin, a local organization in the Electronic Frontier Alliance, (not EFF) will host this event:

Generative AI: A View from the Lawyers

From the Organizers:

Generative AI is raising lots of legal and ethical issues that will eventually have to be resolved by the courts. But it is also raising lots of headaches for lawyers and judges, like fake evidence and legal briefs being written by Chat-GPT. The fact that ChatGPT-4 can score higher on bar exams than most lawyers underscores that they are also not immune from being replaced by AI. This talk will cover various legal issues raised by generative AI, and summarizes how lawyers and courts are so far responding.

Our speaker this month is Drew Harris. Drew Harris is a civil rights trial lawyer with a passion for technology. While at Stanford Law School in 2002, he assisted the Electronic Frontier Foundation through the law school’s Cyberlaw Clinic. After working at large law firms on IP litigation cases, he switched to public service in 2010, where he litigates employment cases on behalf of the state of Texas. Drew frequently gives presentations to other lawyers on technology, legal ethics, trial presentation, and employment law issues.

Talk will be livestreamed at https://www.youtube.com/user/austintechlive and will later be archived at https://www.youtube.com/user/effaustin. Questions for the speaker from virtual attendees may be submitted via the Youtube livestream chat, our Twitter account, @EFFaustin, or our Mastodon account, @effaustin.
