Bringing together legal scholars in public interest, legal ethics, and access to justice, this panel session is dedicated to the discussion of how artificial intelligence currently impacts attorneys and legal scholars that work to eliminate bias and improve access to the most vulnerable of clients. This panel aims to advance the dialogue on policy, practice, and the future in how artificial intelligence may assist, or hinder, those that seek equal justice for all. Specifically, panelists will discuss their latest scholarship, including artificial intelligence advancements and machine learning in criminal law proceedings, the benefits and concerns that AI brings to those seeking legal services, and how the development of a conscious AI world impacts the way we see ourselves.
