This professional responsibility presentation addresses crucial ethical considerations arising from the increasing use of Artificial Intelligence and particularly generative AI in the legal profession. We will define key AI concepts and take a deep dive into the implications of generative AI and large language models. Explore how the Washington Rules of Professional Conduct apply to lawyers’ use of legal AI, with a focused discussion on the duties of competence, confidentiality, communication, fees, and supervision. There will also be some examples of AI “gone rogue” and the ethical implications of over confidence and over reliance, and concerns regarding the duty of candor to the tribunal and diligence.
