I know you’re saying: “I’m not a luddite!” But it you’re overwhelmed by GenAI, check out this webinar from Lexbe on generative AI for luddites!
Tomorrow, Lexbe will host the webinar titled (wait for it!) Generative AI for Luddites: Practical Uses, Ethical Risks, And Limitations (available here) at 2pm ET (1pm CT, 11am PT). Led by Lauren E. Burk, Of Counsel at Baker Donelson, “who grew up in the 80s and 90s doing research on index cards”, this session is designed for legal professionals who view technology strictly as a tool. If you prefer handwriting over typing but know you need to adapt to the times, this webinar is for you.
Lauren will guide you through the essentials of Generative AI (GAI), breaking down complex concepts into actionable, everyday advice:
- The Reality of Adoption: Understand why you will have to use GAI. Clients will soon expect and demand the time and cost savings it provides.
- Navigating Ethics: Learn how to use AI as a tool that helps, rather than hinders, your practice. We will review key considerations, including ABA Formal Opinion 512.
- Handling Hallucinations: Discover what to do if the AI gets it wrong. Steps include withdrawing the pleading, correcting the record, apologizing, and taking responsibility.
- Best Practices for Safety: Learn crucial rules like using firm-approved tools with privacy protections and keeping client or confidential information off public platforms. You must also locate and read every single case.
- Avoiding “Digital Amnesia”: Explore a 2025 MIT study revealing that regular AI shortcuts can reduce cognitive engagement and lead to lower recall. Discover mitigation strategies like forcing yourself to prepare your own first drafts and engaging in deep-thinking activities.
