AI regulation and its impact on the business and practice of law
In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with Unisearch Expert Opinion Services, we explore how global and domestic regulation of artificial intelligence influences how lawyers practise and operate their businesses and what will constitute best practice moving forward.
Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Unisearch expert Professor Mimi Zou, Head of School, Private and Commercial Law, UNSW and Unisearch Expert Opinion Services Business Development Manager Christopher Aaron Yong about the state of affairs for regulation of AI, domestically and globally, what’s on the horizon for regulatory updates, and lessons Australians can glean from overseas experiences.
Zou and Yong also delve into what will constitute best practice for legal practitioners in 2026 and beyond, operational considerations, consequences for not adapting approaches, questions that legal businesses need to be asking, the kinds of expert services that will be required moving forward, and broader key takeaways for lawyers nationwide.
