"Publisher's Note: DLA Piper partner Danny Tobey, who
practices in Dallas, received a prestigious Burton Award in May for
an article he published on artificial intelligence. Tobey, a former
software entrepreneur, was recently named co-chair of DLA
Piper's AI practice. In this capacity, he leads the firm's
team that focuses on efforts to assist companies as they navigate
the legal landscape of emerging and disruptive technologies, while
helping them understand the legal and compliance risks arising from
the creation and deployment of AI systems. Also a medical doctor,
Tobey is working with the American Medical Association to develop
guidelines for AI in healthcare. Earlier this year, he co-authored
an article for the Association of Corporate Counsel Docket with
Chen-Sen "Samson" Wu, GlaxoSmithKline's head of legal
for global medical. The Burton Awards, which celebrated its 20th
anniversary this year at the Library of Congress, recognizes
outstanding legal writing.
