Artificial intelligence is changing the way we work, think and research as lawyers. The impact is felt not just in the profession, but for students and academics as well. With growing capacity comes a need for growing AI literacy: the ability to understand, critically evaluate and responsibly use AI technologies in legal education, practice and research.

The Legal Forecast in collaboration with QUT Law School is proud to bring you a fireside chat with Dr Henry Fraser - an expert in innovative, ‘new law’ practices. Henry is an academic in the QUT Law School with past experience as a practising lawyer, specialising in corporate challenges for technology businesses, intellectual property and privacy issues. His current interests include researching responsibility in complex digital supply chains and investigating liability and responsibility for AI harms and risks.

In conversation with Chair of the Legal Forecast, Bella Busby, Henry will explore a variety of topics including:

What AI literacy means for law students and lawyers
Professional responsibility and ethical use of AI
AI use in legal education and research
Skills the next generation of lawyers will need
Balancing human judgment with machine assistance

Participants will examine the opportunities, limitations, ethical considerations, and practical applications of AI in law, while gaining the knowledge needed to navigate an increasingly technology-enabled profession.

Registration is free but please reserve your spot. A light lunch will be provided.

Please arrive by 12:45pm for a 1:00pm start.
