AI & Algorithms
Artificial intelligence is transforming every industry — and creating a new frontier of legal risk. We help AI companies, developers, and enterprises deploying AI systems navigate IP ownership, data rights, liability, and emerging regulation.
The law has not caught up with artificial intelligence — but regulators, courts, and private litigants are moving fast to fill the gaps. Companies building AI products, deploying large language models, training on third-party data, or making consequential decisions through algorithmic systems face a rapidly evolving set of legal obligations and risks. We help AI-forward companies get ahead of these issues before they become crises.
IP Ownership of AI-Generated Output
Who owns content, code, or creative work generated by an AI system? This is one of the most contested and rapidly evolving questions in IP law. The U.S. Copyright Office has taken the position that purely AI-generated content is not copyrightable, but human authorship in the prompting, curation, and selection process can create protectable rights. We help AI companies and their clients understand what they own, what they don't, and how to structure agreements to allocate these rights clearly.
Training Data & Copyright Liability
Training AI models on copyrighted data is the subject of major ongoing litigation. Whether this constitutes copyright infringement under the fair use doctrine is currently being litigated in multiple federal courts, with outcomes that will reshape how AI companies operate. We advise AI companies on training data sourcing, licensing strategies, and risk mitigation in this rapidly developing area.
AI Liability & Algorithmic Decision-Making
When an AI system makes — or influences — a consequential decision (a loan denial, a medical recommendation, a content moderation action), who is liable when the decision is wrong or discriminatory? Federal regulators including the FTC, CFPB, and EEOC have all issued guidance on algorithmic decision-making, and state regulators are adding new requirements. We help companies deploying AI systems understand their obligations and build accountability frameworks.
AI Vendor Agreements & Data Use
When your business integrates third-party AI tools or APIs — whether OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, or others — the terms of service governing those integrations determine what you can build, what data you can use, and who owns what. We review AI vendor agreements and help companies structure their AI integrations on terms that protect their IP, their customers, and their business.
