2026 Artificial Intelligence and Robotics National Institute

ABOUT THIS EVENT

MORE INFORMATION

Agentic AI is today’s “next big thing” for AI and robotics, and it’s raising unprecedented legal issues. Agentic AI systems don’t just communicate or respond—they act autonomously (like personal assistants) to plan, reason, and execute multiple steps to achieve their goals at breathtaking speed and scale. Such disruption and rapid transformation are the new normal as businesses and lawyers expand their use of AI in all of its forms. So much has changed in the past year, with challenging legal implications for lawyers and clients in every industry.

At the ABA’s 8th annual AI and Robotics National Institute, attendees will hear the latest insights and strategies from practitioners and thought leaders.

• Delve into must-know topics: Agentic AI (beyond the buzzwords); emerging AI technology and laws, regulations, and standards; risk mitigation (watch out for lawsuits, legislation, and regulators) when using AI that shapes or responds to human emotions; legal challenges for mass-market, AI-driven robots; AI vs. ethics, one battle after another; and the future of AI vs. humans, from data protection to data centers to power grids.
• Customize your experience with 2 breakout tracks (three 1-hour sessions):
  • AI in Practice:  How AI and robotics are changing M&A; AI in the courtroom and in chambers; and AI in crisis, as problem and solution (interactive tabletop).
  • Intellectual Property: Copyright and other IP AI litigation risks; deepfakes, content creation, and other legal issues in entertainment; and AI automation of patent, copyright, and trademark applications and enforcement (including demonstrations).
