19th Annual Bar Leaders' Conference
20 May - 21 May 2026
Session information
Description
Following the publication of the IBA’s The Future is Now report on AI, the BIC has continued to focus on ethics and the impact of AI on core values of the profession. The BIC Working Group on AI has developed an extended survey of guidance for lawyers around the world and has focused on synthesising the common denominators of ethics issues. For bars that have not yet addressed such issues, and for those in more advanced stages of engagement on the issue, the programme will highlight best practices and address how bars can develop road maps for development in this area.
