Artificial Intelligence

This high-impact opening plenary will move decisively past the theoretical debate surrounding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and will focus entirely on its practical applications. The panelists will discuss how firms are applying generative AI today to increase efficiency, reduce administrative workload and deliver better client outcomes, and will provide immediate, actionable intelligence on how AI can be used for specialized legal research, document analysis, financial data modeling and workflow automation in restructuring and insolvency cases.

This session will explore the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital-asset recovery in cross-border bankruptcy proceedings. The panelists will examine the challenges in making recoveries when digital-asset businesses are the subject of fraud or hacking activity, and discuss how AI-powered tools are revolutionizing asset-tracing, evidence-gathering and recovery processes. They also will cover the practical challenges insolvency professionals face when appointed over businesses in this sector, especially when there is a parallel criminal investigation and/or prosecution, and ways in which practitioners can navigate that landscape to achieve the best outcomes for stakeholders by drawing on real-life examples of cases in which the panelists have been involved.

This session will explore key ethical issues facing bankruptcy practitioners and judges, including professional responsibility, conflicts of interest, confidentiality, and duties to clients, creditors and the court. The panelists will examine recent case law, evolving ethical standards, and practical guidance for navigating complex situations in bankruptcy practice.

As artificial intelligence transforms the legal landscape, understanding how to effectively and ethically integrate AI into legal practice is essential. This panel will explore successful strategies for employing AI in legal workflows, offer insights into ethical frameworks and considerations surrounding its use, and provide a comprehensive overview of the current market of AI-powered legal technology solutions. Attendees will leave with practical knowledge to navigate the evolving AI legal ecosystem with confidence and responsibility.
