The Impact of AI on the Standard of Care for Professionals

Ian Stewart (Partner-Los Angeles | Orange County, CA) and Carole Buckner (Of Counsel-San Diego, CA) will present a Professional Liability Week webinar on June 17, 2025, titled “The Impact of AI on the Standard of Care for Professionals.” Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) is already changing the way professionals perform their work and communicate with clients and customers. As lawyers, accountants, architects, and others race to adopt new AI products, the standard of care must necessarily evolve. Ian and Carole define the elements of the standard of care, including understanding the technology, cybersecurity, and terms and conditions related to GAI, as well as the risks and compliance issues. Where does the boundary lie between human and machine responsibility? This presentation will address the critical questions that professionals must ask when using AI to comply with their duties of care and obligations to their clients, as well as other ethical and legal concerns.
