Artificial Intelligence

Recent advances in AI functionality and popularity have opened a world of opportunity for businesses and organizations. With the proper legal guidance, companies can leverage artificial intelligence to increase operational efficiency, improve customer service and support, facilitate product development, or forecast market demand.

But rapidly evolving AI technology can present significant risk. The rules are in flux as lawmakers and regulators struggle to keep pace. Businesses need to maximize gains from generative AI, machine learning, and other AI technology while remaining in compliance with applicable laws and rules, intellectual property rights, and ethical obligations and guidelines.
