This Article is the first to examine the risk that attorneys’ use of generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) in legal practice poses to personal data and offer a comparison of the American Bar Association’s (“A.B.A.”) and European Union’s (“EU”) differing approaches to providing guardrails for the use of AI technology. It is also the first to suggest the A.B.A. consider integrating the EU’s risk-based AI classification system and data protection requirements into its Model Rules of Professional Conduct.
