About This Course

AI has the potential to dramatically transform the way we interact with technology and, as new technologies emerge, AI evolves and can be adapted to be useful in countless new ways.

Typically defined as a branch of computer science that studies the development and implementation of software and algorithms to enable machines to think and act like humans, it usually takes the form of machine learning, natural language processing, robotics and computer vision. A rapidly advancing field with a variety of applications like ChatGPT, it is used to automate tasks, improve efficiency, and create new opportunities. As with any dynamic technological field, the legal issues are numerous and increasingly complex as AI-enabled products and services constantly evolve.

This CLE course will offer a general overview of the technology, the current applicable laws and the ethical issues associated with AI and Chatgpt.

The course will:

Define AI and its different forms (e.g., machine learning, natural language processing, Chatgpt, robotics, computer vision)
Provide examples of applications of AI applications in the legal field (e.g., predictive coding, legal research, contract review)
Present the current legal framework for AI, including relevant legislation and regulatory bodies (e.g., GDPR, CCPA)
Explain the legal challenges presented by AI, including accountability and liability for potential harms related to AI
Review both the negative and positive of AI on society (e.g., job displacement, privacy concerns, etc.)
Analyze the concept of "explainable AI" and its significance in the legal context
Discuss the ethical considerations, such as bias and discrimination, surrounding AI and how to incorporate those ethical considerations into the development and deployment of AI
Discuss the future of research and development in the field of AI and its application in the law

Lecturer Bio

Elie D. Al-Chaer, Esq.

Elie D. Al-Chaer is an attorney and counselor in Texas since 2002. His primary practice areas initially focused on professional and business immigration. He has also worked as a mediator and a consultant on business planning, home health law, international law, and immigration. Over the years, his practice expanded to include professional and academic grievances, family law, contracts, negotiations, and civil disputes resolution. In 2017, he developed an interest in the legal aspects of cryptocurrency, blockchain technology and decentralized finance and since then, he has been advising clients on this emerging field of law. Dr. Al-Chaer understands the importance of staying ahead of the curve in the legal industry. Earlier this year, he announced to his clients that he will be incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into his practice. However, as with any new technology, there are challenges and risks associated with the use of AI in the legal field.

Elie was born in Beirut, Lebanon. He grew up speaking English, French and Arabic, and earned his Bachelor of Science Degree (Mathematics, 1988) and his Master of Science Degree (Physiology, 1991) at the American University of Beirut (AUB). He came to the USA in 1992 and attended graduate school as an F-1 Visa student at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston (UTMB), where he earned his Ph.D. (Neuroscience, 1996). Following his graduation, he qualified for a National Interest Waiver as an outstanding Scholar with Extraordinary Ability and became a Permanent Resident (1998).

As an immigrant exposed to some high-profile legal cases in the 1990s, he became fascinated with the law and attended law school as a permanent resident (Green Card) at South Texas College of Law in Houston where he received his J.D. in 2002. In that same year he passed the Texas bar examination and was sworn as an Attorney and Counselor at Law before the Supreme Court of Texas on November 6, 2002.

Dr. Al-Chaer wears many professional hats besides being an attorney. He is a neuroscientist and was Professor of Neuroscience and Internal Medicine at the UTMB in Galveston (1998 – 2004) and at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (2004 -2013); he’s also Professor and Chairman of Anatomy, Physiology, Cell Biology and Neuroscience at the AUB (2013 – 2022). He has taught Neuroscience, Human Cognition and Ethics at institutions in the USA and abroad and has given several CME and CLE lectures to professional societies around the world. His unique background in Mathematics, Neuroscience and Law provides him with an exceptional perspective and ability to understand complex the complex interfaces between biomedicine, technology, and artificial intelligence, on one hand, and the law on the other.

Al-Chaer is a member of the American Bar Association (ABA); he is admitted to practice in the State of Texas (2002) and the District of Columbia (Washington DC; 2006). He is well published and recipient of numerous awards. He has appeared as a guest speaker at professional meetings in the United States and throughout the world. His dedication to serving the legal needs of his clients, as well as his polymath approach to legal issues, assures his clients will always receive the best comprehensive and reliable legal service.
