As clinicians directing clinics that represent underserved and marginalized communities, how can we best harness the ever-evolving artificial intelligence resources like ChatGPT and Bing AI? How do we teach our students about both the dangers and the benefits of these tools? We will use this session to tackle general issues related to AI and clinics and those related to criminal defense (and criminal defense adjacent) clinics specifically, including access to justice, implicit bias, confidentiality, and how to use AI effectively and ethically. Our goal is for each participant to leave this moderated discussion with a plan for a class in which you can teach your students about AI in your clinic this fall.
