ChatGPT and other generative AI has the potential to transform the way we live and work, and everywhere you look these days people are asking tough questions about AI. If you’re interested in the ethical and moral questions for which there may be no right answers, this Wall Street Journal article has food for thought and so did a South Park episode—partially written by ChatGPT!—where the characters use ChatGPT to argue their way out of getting in trouble for using it.

The philosophical side of things may be outside our wheelhouse (phew!), but there are a host of practical and legal issues with AI that companies need to be thinking about now. We’re posting memos and other materials in our “Artificial Intelligence” Practice Area addressing a myriad of topics like these:

– AI seems to be the latest regulatory hot topic and—like with privacy laws—companies need to be aware of an emerging patchwork of state regulation, which Jenner & Block addresses in this client alert, and the potential for federal legislation, highlighted by DLA Piper

– Legal risks with using AI for corporate purposes—including whether the use of AI may violate contractual obligations or privacy laws or infringe intellectual property rights—addressed by WilmerHale in this article on the top 10 legal and business risks of using chatbots

– Considerations for preparing a policy governing the use of AI, recommended by Debevoise in this article highlighting that many employees have started deploying it for work-related tasks

– The potential for generative AI to transform the legal industry, discussed by Mintz in this article
