Join us for the first installment of the Frontiers in Law and Technology series to learn about the impact of generative artificial intelligence (AI). With the release of ChatGPT in late 2022, people across the globe have been talking about the impact of AI on all professions, including the legal profession. This conversation between Professor Shawn Bayern and Katya Fisher will explore the technology behind generative AI, including how lawyers might use generative AI in their practice and what kinds of promises and risks the new technology poses. Students will have the opportunity to attend this webinar broadcast in person at the FSU College of Law.
