AI

We’re all familiar with the stories of fake cases, and the risks posed to confidentiality and fairness. This webinar goes beyond the basics to explore the ways that lawyers might responsibly integrate AI into legal practice.

It’s a topic that transcends borders, affecting the global legal profession. This webinar offers international and comparative perspectives. Building on a successful AI discussion at the fourth annual Kenya-UK Legal Symposium in November last year, it draws on practical insights from England and Wales, Kenya and beyond.
