SUMMARY:Artificial Intelligence and Employment Considerations
DESCRIPTION:Join us July 24\, 2023 for a discussion about AI and employment\, either in person at Baker Hostetler or virtually.\n\n\nParticipants: \nShareef Farag\, Partner\, BakerHostetler (LA)James A. Sherer\, Partner\, BakerHostetler (NY)Ariana Dindiyal\, Associate\, BakerHostetler (NY)Brittany Yantis\, Associate\, BakerHostetler (DC)Fulton Wald\, Associate\, BakerHostetler (NY) \nProgram outline: \nAI is set to affect many disciplines\, but its effects carry similar themes. \nThis presentation discusses AI practice development in the context of job applications according to these themes: \nCreation of new information at scale. Present-day job openings are oversaturated with applications\, and many HR departments cannot handle the quantity of applications\, thus look to AI to help sort through them. \nUse of outsourced “black box” technology. As with other AI applications\, many HR departments out-source these tools to third party vendors without knowing exactly how the vendors function. \nPotential for Bias and back-end audits. Vendors may promote the use of AI not based in science\, and/or that relies on biased data sets without self-auditing: this means vendors could be picking candidates who were chosen by biased AI\, and the employer might be unaware of this. \nNew Law. Laws in cities and states have cropped up regarding Automated Employment Decision Tools (AEDT)\, such as in NYC which now requires employers to disclose when they use AEDT and conduct bias audits to ensure their AI is fair. \nOther Legal/Adjacent Standards. “Soft Law” and other similar ethical approaches (e.g.\, from NIST and the EEOC) can also offer guidance to employers to help avoid lawsuits based on biased AI (or to mitigate their effects).

SUMMARY:A Roundtable Discussion on Artificial Intelligence and Litigation
DESCRIPTION:This discussion will look at some of the generative AI-based tools designed for litigation.\n\n\nThe age of AI has surely taken the legal world by storm. Both law firms and service providers have been incorporating AI into their workflows for years and more recently are beginning to utilize Generative AI and LLMs to focus in on the response data and information in a case. This discussion will look at some of the generative AI-based tools designed for litigation and the speakers will provide their feedback on the risks and rewards of using these new tools. The panel also will consider the ethical implications of using these tools and will look at how client information and confidences can be maintained appropriately when using AI-based technologies. \nSpeakers \nIgnatius Grande\, Berkeley Research Group \nJames Sherer\, Baker Hostetler \nTara Emory\, Redgrave Data \nKhrys McKinney\, K L McKinney

SUMMARY:A Primer on Privilege Logs
DESCRIPTION:Privilege logging is an essential but increasingly burdensome aspect of litigation.\n\n\nPrivilege logging is an essential but increasingly burdensome aspect of litigation. As data volumes grow\, the process has become costly\, complex\, and cumbersome. At the 2024 Legal Week Judges Debate keynote\, Judge Peck noted\, “[n]ow the privilege logs are like little novels\, and there may be 10\,000 or more entries. That is very expensive and is often useless to the other side in figuring out what is or isn’t privileged.” This program will examine the fundamentals of privilege determinations\, explore cost-effective logging strategies\, and assess how emerging technologies can streamline the process.
