The rules of professional responsibility were written for a world without AI. The AI era is arriving faster than the guidance. Moral Machine is Chris Warren’s ongoing column on what that means for practicing lawyers, law firms, regulators, and the courts. The column covers attorney competence and the “reasonable degree” standard, confidentiality and privilege in the age of frontier models, governance frameworks that work in practice rather than only on paper, judicial orders and emerging case law, sanctions and hallucination risk, and the day-to-day realities of running a legal practice that is safe, ethical, and technologically current.
