Description
The past year has brought a wave of federal and state court lawsuits challenging the legality and use of generative artificial intelligence (“GenAI”) systems and tools. While the myriad questions raised are still in debate, these cases – some, a matter of first impression – may well signal what’s on the horizon and provide guidance to policymakers working to put safeguards in place. The earliest cases against developers of GenAI technologies focused on the data used to train the models and systems – what, when, and how that data was obtained, and whether it was in violation of intellectual property or privacy rights. Later cases have shifted to pointing the finger at GenAI users, especially as these systems become more commonplace in business settings.
Because this is a fluid and fast-moving landscape, the way these actions play out in the courts and in the hallways of regulatory agencies could have as much impact on how GenAI is deployed in the U.S. as any potential law ultimately passed by Congress. Join our expert panel for a concise exploration of the claims being raised and defenses used in these disputes, what trends we can predict as they move along, and the risks to yourself and your clients in the interim.
Join a panel of lawyers and an academic with technology expertise as they discuss:
- Who the parties are in the cases, including some of the more high-profile plaintiffs
- Which claims are being used and their potential viability: copyright infringement, invasion of privacy, unfair business practices, violation of consumer protection acts, data misappropriation, harm from AI-driven outcomes (ie, wrongful arrest, denial of employment)
- What existing laws apply to these cases and pending legislation for the makers of AI products vs. AI users
- What trends can we predict from some of the earliest decisions and the standards they are setting
- How businesses using GenAI can be at risk and what steps can be taken to reduce liability
Litigators, intellectual property attorneys, privacy specialists, and corporate counsel for companies creating or using GenAI will benefit from watching this webcast on the litigation landscape for generative AI disputes.
