“USING IG TO NAVIGATE THE CHALLENGES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, VIRTUAL MEETINGS, AND EPHEMERAL MESSAGING”

Virtual meetings are now commonplace for private and public organizations and, at the same time, the use of ephemeral messages by personnel of those organizations appears to be expanding. These forms of communication must raise numerous questions, including those related to integration into an organization’s information governance structure as well as preservation of content and possible sanctions for loss of that content. At the same time, private and public organizations must prepare for use and governance of artificial intelligence. This two part presentation will provide an overview of these technologies, consider legal duties that the technologies might give rise to, and address possible consequences for the failure to comply with those duties.
