#HelloWorld. Welcome to the first edition of The AI Update. Every other week, we’ll provide you with a curated summary of the most relevant, impactful legal developments in the world of AI. Let’s stay smart together.
Our mission: Since ChatGPT’s public launch last November, the onslaught of AI-related news has been daily and relentless. We’ve guided our clients one-on-one about legal developments, the knowns and unknowns, and what we see coming down the road. So much so that a centralized information exchange—this newsletter—feels like a logical next step. Why every two weeks and why only one page? So as not to continue the flood. What if you want more detail? Contact us individually and we’ll get you up to speed. There’s a lot of noise out there; we try to focus on the signal.
Regulatory activity in the U.S.: For now, two agencies have emerged as the most vocal in the AI space (at least in public). The Copyright Office released guidance on how to seek copyright protection for works created with generative-AI assistance. In short: a human author is required and any AI-tool use must be disclosed and disclaimed. The Office is also holding a series of public listening sessions on this and other related AI topics, like the use of copyrighted works to train AI models. The sessions start on April 19—stay tuned for highlights in future editions of The AI Update.
