Editors of the Elgar Concise Encyclopedia of Artificial Intelligence and the Law examine how artificial intelligence is reshaping legal practice across a broad range of areas of law. One editor is a mediator and arbitrator based in Century City and Los Angeles and a prominent figure in law and AI, including as the co-author of influential AI rules. They will cover the evolving integration of AI into mediation and arbitration, including use by parties, counsel, and neutrals. The other editor, bringing experience as an attorney and educator on AI and the law, will map the expanding areas where AI intersects with legal practice. They will also discuss the risks of uploading client data to AI tools, why lawyers should be skeptical of technology companies’ promises about privacy and security, and what firms should be considering when developing and implementing AI use policies. The discussion highlights why these considerations matter for all attorneys, not just those who focus on dispute resolution or even just those that utilize AI tools.
