The Integrated Bar of the Philippines Journal and the Philippine Bar Association (“PBA”) organized a legal forum entitled “AI and the Law”. It was a forum open to all law practitioners and students interested to learn the basics of artificial intelligence and its impact on Philippine laws. More than 100 lawyers attended and earned Mandatory Continuing Legal Education credits. It was held last 26 July 2024 at the University of the Philippines Bonifacio Global City Auditorium.
ACCRALAW Partner Chrysilla Carissa P. Bautista organized the forum in her capacity as PBA Trustee. She also gave the welcome remarks. She is currently a PBA Trustee and the Treasurer.
The speakers were IP practitioners and lecturers from the University of the Philippines College of Law. Prof. Senando Angelo R. Santiago’s lecture was called “Artificial Intelligence Essentials for Lawyers” and Prof. Darwin P. Angeles’ lecture was entitled “Ethical and Legal Considerations of Generative AI Creations on the Philippine Copyright Landscape”.
ACCRALAW Partner Christoper Louie D. Ocampo was the forum’s moderator and facilitated the lively open forum.
