Is A.I. Coming for You? What Will You Do?
Room 347: 11:15 AM to 12:30 PM
This panel will touch on best practices when representing individuals before the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). It will also discuss key issues pertaining to removal defense work and how harnessing a community of advocates can help address these issues. The focus of the session will be on the universal representation movement and why provisioning free legal representation, particularly to individuals in ICE detention facilities, matters.
In this conference session, we'll discuss how emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) can positively impact law students, lawyers, or judges with disabilities. We'll explore AI's potential to simplify tasks such as research and document analysis, emphasizing the importance of creating inclusive work environments. Our goal is to advocate for responsible AI use, urging the legal profession to avoid using AI to replace professionals with disabilities, which could perpetuate discrimination. Instead, we should leverage AI while preserving the human qualities essential to legal practice, such as empathy and creative problem-solving.
