Alva Mather is moderating a panel at the National Conference of State Liquor Administrators (NCSLA) 2025 Central/Western Regional Conference. Her session, “Can ChatGPT be your new associate? The ethics of AI,” explores the ethical implications of using artificial intelligence (AI). The panelists discuss AI’s impact on client confidentiality, attorney competence and supervision, and how work generated by a computer should be ethically invoiced.

This year’s NCSLA Central/Western Regional Conference addresses timely issues including multi-state permitting for manufacturers, the growing use of mobile driver’s licenses and associated challenges around youth access and fake IDs, and how the ethics of AI tools like ChatGPT are shaping the industry.
