SUMMARY:Law Week Long Lunch – The Future is Now: AI, Ethics, and Innovation in the Legal Profession
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss this exclusive Law Week Long Lunch featuring Australia’s leading voice on AI regulation, Professor Ed Santow. A prominent human rights lawyer and former Australian Human Rights Commissioner, Ed will take us on a journey of discovery looking at the intersection of AI and the law, AI as both a tool for advancement and a potential source of legal and professional risk, as well as presenting human rights challenges.​
Previously a practising lawyer and now Director of Policy & Governance at the Human Technology Institute, Ed is at the forefront of shaping the responsible development and oversight of AI in Australia. From digital government transformation to AI assurance and regulation, his captivating insights are impacting the legal profession, policymakers, and innovators to navigate this inevitable new world. 
Why This Matters Now
Artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept—it’s here, transforming industries, governance, and personal freedoms. With rapid advancements the legal profession has some pressing questions:
✅ How should AI be regulated?
✅ What are the risks of AI bias and privacy concerns?
✅ Can we ensure AI aligns with access to justice for communities that traditionally face barriers?
✅ How can laws evolve quickly to keep pace with AI’s rapid development while preserving human rights in the development, use, regulation and oversight of new technology?
Join us for this unmissable Law Week Long Lunch with the compelling Professor Ed Santow as he shares a clear-eyed, sobering and thought-provoking perspective on the AI world that has arrived. The event includes a 30 minute Keynote address and later on in the afternoon a 30 minute fireside chat with Q and A.
Tickets include a premium three-course meal with beverages, 1 CPD unit and lots of time to interact with friends and colleagues.
1 CPD Unit – Competency 3: Ethics and Professional Responsibility
