AI Transforms The National And International Regulatory Landscape

KEY TAKEAWAY

Generative AI, which generates different forms of content when prompted, is a form of artificial intelligence that both small and large companies are capitalizing on across all industries. Indeed, the technology is transforming the way companies do business, and in tandem, opening a Pandora's box of new regulatory frameworks and sprouting putative class actions across the United States.

The growth of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has led to novel class action lawsuits, implicating disputes over, among other things, intellectual property, invasion of privacy, and facial recognition.¹ These class actions raise questions regarding how AI systems are developed and trained, including whether the use of large amounts of copyrighted material to train large language models (LLMs) and generative AI tools constitute infringement.²
