The Bar Council Cyberlaw Committee, in collaboration with the Bar Council Continuing Professional Development Department, is proud to present the Artificial Intelligence Series. This series is aimed at helping participants understand contemporary issues related to the intersection of law and artificial intelligence (“AI”).
AI has been a popular buzzword in the past year, with it being a tool that has been used in various industries to improve speed, quality, and functionality. It is said to be a disruptive force for commercial benefit and human efficiency.
How has AI affected legal practice in Malaysia thus far? How would the legal profession and legal practice evolve with the utilisation of AI in legal practice? What are the practice areas that would be impacted by the utilisation of AI in the foreseeable future? What does this mean for the current and future lawyers in Malaysia?
Join us as our speakers explore these questions with perspectives from the Bench and the Malaysian Bar.
