Artificial Intelligence

Rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are transforming the way companies operate. No industry is exempt from the benefits of progress in this field, but to succeed businesses need seasoned counsel who can seize opportunities while understanding the strategic and legal implications for today and tomorrow.

Our team regularly collaborates with entities investing in, developing, or deploying natural language processing, logical inferencing, artificial neural networks, machine perception, and other cutting-edge technologies.

How We Can Help

Risk Assessment & Best Practice Guidance

Conducting in-depth risk assessments and evaluating usage of AI tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and others. Reviewing existing information security policies and providing best practice recommendations to mitigate risks arising from the misuse of AI tools and resulting breaches.

Labor & Employment

Providing appropriate messaging around the use of AI solutions and assessing short and long-term changes resulting from the use of AI tools, including monitoring for compliance with corporate policies, providing training, and performing periodic audits to evaluate the impact across different teams and demographics.

Vendor & Tool Assessments

Helping discern which AI tools are safe to use. Risks include adopting tools with no protections or assurances for confidentiality, weak security protocols susceptible to hacking, using tools from vendors who may themselves not be fully compliant with all relevant laws, or vendors who do not provide sufficient after-sales support.

Contract Review & Data Usage

Reviewing existing agreements to address usage of client data for training of vendor systems or for the vendor to improve its own systems and processes. Modifying template agreements to provide for protections stemming from the use of generative AI tools including intellectual property protections.

Copyright

Providing guidance on copyright related liability to clients on the use of output from generative AI models. Many AI models have been trained on third-party data without appropriate authorization or consent from copyright owners, resulting in potential downstream liability to end users of such models.

Due Diligence

Conducting due diligence on potential investments and deals involving AI technologies by identifying potential risks stemming from the development, deployment, and use of AI models, including evaluation for compliance with regulations.

Governance

Counseling clients on establishing and implementing bespoke AI governance frameworks based on the client’s industry, regulatory environment, and corporate culture. These frameworks enable companies to safely develop, deploy, and use AI solutions while remaining compliant with regulations and mitigating risks.
