In this episode, we explore the dynamic relationship between lawyers and artificial intelligence, a topic gaining significant attention both in the U.S. and internationally. Our focus is on understanding whether AI is collaboratively working with lawyers or posing challenges to the legal profession (or perhaps it is doing both). Additionally, we explore a fascinating case dealing with ChatGPT: Mata v. Avianca, adding a real-world dimension to the discussion. Our goal is to navigate through the evolving landscape where law and AI intersect, contemplating the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the legal profession, especially for law students soon entering the profession.
