AI in legal technology & automation

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in legal workflows, this expert panel, recorded live at the InfoTrack 2025 Law, Tech and the New Economy event, unpacks the critical ethical and regulatory challenges facing the profession. From data privacy and cybersecurity risks to algorithmic bias and the need for transparent decision-making, the discussion explores how AI is reshaping legal practice and what safeguards are essential to ensure its responsible and equitable use across the justice system.

Featuring Professor Michael Legg (Director, UNSW Centre for the Future of the Legal Profession), Patricia Haueiss (Strategic AI Consultant & Advisor), and Michael Williams (Partner, Gilbert + Tobin), and moderated by Ann-Maree David (Executive Director, College of Law Queensland), this timely and thought-provoking conversation offers valuable insight into emerging governance frameworks, practitioner responsibilities, and what “trustworthy AI” means in the legal context.
