Artificial intelligence (AI), large language models, and generative AI stand at the
forefront of a new frontier, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in
technology and innovation. The AI and generative AI revolution continues to
accelerate, and its global growth shows no sign of slowing. It is fundamentally
changing the way businesses operate, and its development and deployment raise
complex global legal and business issues. As our clients navigate this new frontier,
we provide timely, practical, and comprehensive advice in the adoption/licensure of
an artificial intelligence solution and the implementation of its use internally for
operations or externally for client interactions.
AI and generative AI will impact a number of legal regulations that currently exist
and are expected to be enacted shortly. Further, AI and generative AI will
stretch the boundaries of environmental, social, and governance thinking. We see a
number of laws and regulations immediately being impacted by AI and generative AI
including those relating to data privacy, security, intellectual property, financial
services, employment, antitrust, and consumer protection. We have skilled lawyers in
all of these areas who are ready to assist clients in navigating this game-changing
technology.
As a firm, we are uniquely positioned to assist clients worldwide as we have seen
this coming for some time now. We have been at the forefront of cutting-edge
developments surrounding AI having endowed the K&L Gates Professor of Ethics
and Computational Technologies at Carnegie Mellon University in 2016. We have
advised and provided legal services to clients in this space for a number of
years and count some of the current industry leaders in generative AI as our
valued clients. Further, with one of the largest and most respected public
policy practices globally, we have the experience needed to shape the law and
its practical application.
As AI technologies continue to evolve, laws and strategies will be implemented by
governments around the world to address ethical and legal considerations. This
series page is designed to keep you informed. Here, you will find the latest
alerts, webinars, and other tools to help you stay abreast of these
