LexisNexis is one of the most important companies in the entire legal system. For ages it's been where you went to look up case law and do legal research. There isn't a lawyer today who hasn't used it — it's fundamental infrastructure for the legal profession, just like email or a word processor. But in 2025, apparently nobody can resist the siren call of AI, and LexisNexis is no different. The first word Sean said to describe LexisNexis wasn't “law” or “data,” it was “AI.” And I had questions, because so far AI has created just as much chaos and slop in the courts as anywhere else.

In this week's episode, Michael and Eleanor discuss AI law firm Garfield taking on a trainee in Channel 4's latest experiment, the rise of a New York-based law firm operating fully remotely without associates and powered by AI, new moves toward greater tax regulation transparency, the FCA's decision to take on responsibility for anti-money laundering in the legal sector, the court transparency pilot, and more. Thank you for Listening!

In this episode of "The Cut", the conversation dives into how AI is being used inside law firms, what it's getting wrong, and the new rules emerging around its use in legal proceedings. Featuring "Jarrod Munro", Partner at "Cornwalls Lawyers", this discussion unpacks real examples—from court restrictions to hallucinated legal cases—to reveal the promise and peril of AI in professional industries. Jarrod explores how AI's efficiency can help lawyers and accountants focus on higher-value work while warning of the ethical, accuracy, and confidentiality pitfalls that still plague the technology. Listeners will walk away with a sharper understanding of how to integrate AI responsibly, spot its blind spots, and future-proof their professional practice. Key Points AI's speed doesn't mean accuracy—hallucinations and bias remain huge risks if you don't verify results. Confidentiality and compliance are still human responsibilities, even when AI handles the grunt work. The firms that learn how to train, audit, and ethically deploy AI will outpace those who ignore it.

Principal Analyst Alla Valente breaks down California's new AI law, VP and Research Director Chris Gardner discusses the impact of AI models on software development roles, and Principal Analyst Nikhil Lai reviews Best Buy's “in-store takeover” advertising offering.

The collected sources focus predominantly on the rapid adoption, legal risks, and regulatory challenges of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within the legal sector and beyond. Multiple texts emphasize the growing concern over algorithmic bias and discrimination in high-risk AI applications, particularly under new state laws like the Colorado Anti-Discrimination in AI Law, which places distinct compliance burdens on developers and deployers. A critical theme across several articles is the immediate risk of AI misuse by attorneys, detailing court sanctions and fines against lawyers in California, Alabama, and Maryland for submitting filings with fabricated or "hallucinated" legal citations. Furthermore, the documents explore broader legal battles concerning intellectual property and copyright infringement stemming from unauthorized data use in AI training, exemplified by disputes involving tech giants and media companies. Finally, the sources also cover the positive economic impact of legal AI tools, highlighting new startups securing significant funding to automate paralegal tasks and the critical need for law firms to develop robust, human-centered AI governance and security frameworks to mitigate rapidly emerging threats like data breaches and deepfakes.Can anyone really regulate the internet?2025-10-15 | Tech XploreKaufman Dolowich Receives Mansfield Certification from Diversity Lab for 7th Consecutive Year, Firm Recommits to Mansfield Certification for 2025-2026, 10-15-20252025-10-15 | Kaufman DolowichTop Five AI Tools for Lawyers: How Legal AI Is Reshaping Law Firms2025-10-15 | Legaltech on MediumBoards, Not Buzzwords: The Real Driver of Legal AI Adoption2025-10-15 | Legal Technology News - Legal IT Professionals | Everything legal technologyThe future of law firms2025-10-15 | Berwin Leighton PaisnerCalifornia Governor Vetoes Bill That Would Have Required Employers to Provide Notice of AI Use2025-10-15 | Ogletree DeakinsUK legal professionals embrace AI: how legal specific platforms are driving accuracy2025-10-14 | Legal FuturesNew Leaders Propel Lexitas into the Future of Legal Tech2025-10-14 | InvestorsHangout.comTransforming Legal Departments with AI: A Winning Strategy2025-10-14 | InvestorsHangout.comHow AI Is Changing Legal Education with Dyane O'Leary and Jonah Perlin2025-10-14 | GenAI-LexologyWhy Small Language Models Are the Future of Legal AI2025-10-14 | Legaltech on MediumPortolano Cavallo is the first Italian law firm to adopt Legora, a generative AI platform for law firms2025-10-14 | Legal Technology News - Legal IT Professionals | Everything legal technologyThe Inside View: Richard Miskella, co-managing partner of Lewis Silkin, discusses new AI employment tool Delphius2025-10-14 | Legal IT InsiderThe Library Innovation Lab at Harvard Law School Announces Launch of Data.gov Archive Search; Access to 311,000 Datasets (17.9 Terabytes of Data)2025-10-14 | Stephen's LighthouseIncredible Speakers at Legal Innovators UK – Nov 4, 5 and 62025-10-14 | Artificial LawyerArtificial Lawyer Is In Sweden, Back Mon, Oct 202025-10-14 | Artificial LawyerReducto Secures $75 Million Series B2025-10-14 | CooleyLeadership in the Age of AI: Lessons in Ethics, Compliance, and Governance2025-10-14 | Morris, Manning & Martin,LLPMeet Jason Kravitz: Cybersecurity & Privacy Practice Leader2025-10-14 | Nixon PeabodyCalifornia Governor Vetoes “No Robo Bosses Act” – What Employers Need to Know About Latest AI Workplace News2025-10-14 | Fisher & Phillips LLPBreaking Down the Intersection of Right-of-Publicity Law, AI2025-10-14 | Blank Rome

In this episode of The Digital Executive, host Brian Thomas sits down with Austin Bonderer, a seasoned patent attorney with over 25 years of experience and more than 700 issued U.S. patents to his name. From his early days as a U.S. Patent Examiner to leading nanotechnology prosecutions for a Forbes Global 100 company, Austin brings unmatched insight into the world of intellectual property and innovation.He shares what working inside the USPTO taught him about the human side of patent law—why building relationships with examiners is just as important as crafting airtight technical arguments. Austin also explains how technology and smart software tools have revolutionized the patent process, keeping quality high even with massive caseloads.For startups, he offers practical advice on avoiding common IP missteps—like premature disclosure and underestimating the power of NDAs and internal SOPs to protect company assets. Austin also tackles one of the field's toughest challenges: how the 2014 Supreme Court's Alice decision disrupted software and diagnostic patents, leaving innovators in legal limbo.Finally, he dives into the complexities of AI-generated inventions, warning that using AI tools in the creative process may unintentionally trigger public disclosure risks under current law.With decades of experience at the intersection of technology, law, and innovation, Austin Bonderer provides a masterclass in how to protect ideas in an era where the rules are still being written.

News and Updates: AI “Workslop” at Work – A Stanford/BetterUp survey finds over 40% of U.S. employees encounter AI-generated “workslop”—content that looks polished but adds no real value. On average, 15% of workplace output now qualifies, with tech and professional services hit hardest. Colleagues who submit workslop are seen as less capable, trustworthy, and creative. Fauxductivity: Busy, Not Productive – Experts warn of “fauxductivity,” where workers mistake busyness for real progress. Multitasking, endless low-value to-do lists, and unproductive meetings create the illusion of productivity. Solutions include prioritizing top tasks, deep work sessions, and honest daily reviews. ChatGPT Parental Controls – OpenAI rolled out parental controls for ChatGPT, letting parents set time limits, disable voice or image features, turn off memory, and restrict sensitive content. Parents may also receive alerts if teens show signs of self-harm. The move follows lawsuits and safety concerns, with settings designed to stay in place until parents remove them. Americans' AI Attitudes – A Pew survey shows U.S. adults remain wary of AI's growing role. – 71% would like a candidate less if they learned AI wrote a political speech. – 56% feel negatively about AI-written news articles, while nearly half don't mind AI art or music. – Most Americans (53%) believe AI will harm creativity, while 50% say it will weaken human relationships. – Younger adults are more skeptical of AI art and music than older generations. California AI Safety Law – Gov. Gavin Newsom signed SB 53, the nation's first AI safety law. It requires AI developers to disclose safety protocols, report major incidents, and protects whistleblowers. The law also lays the foundation for CalCompute, a state-run cloud cluster. Industry giants like Anthropic supported the bill, while lobbying groups warned it could stifle innovation.

California passed a sweeping law setting up new AI safety rules this week. Meanwhile, YouTube settled a lawsuit brought by President Trump over account suspensions in the wake of the January 6 capitol riot. And an AI-generated “actor” stirred up controversy in Hollywood and pretty much everywhere else. Marketplace's Nova Safo spoke with Natasha Mascarenhas, reporter at The Information, to learn more about all these stories on this week's Marketplace Tech Bytes: Week in Review.

The episode starts with the passage of California's groundbreaking AI transparency law, marking the first legislation in the United States that mandates large AI companies to disclose their safety protocols and provide whistleblower protections. This law applies to major AI labs like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind, requiring them to report critical safety incidents to California's Office of Emergency Services and ensure safety for communities while promoting AI growth. This regulation is a clear signal that the compliance wave surrounding AI is real, with California leading the charge in shaping the future of AI governance.The second story delves into a new cybersecurity risk in the form of the first known malicious Model Context Protocol (MCP) server discovered in the wild. A rogue npm package, "postmark-mcp," was found to be forwarding email data to an external address, exposing sensitive communications. This incident raises concerns about the security of software supply chains and highlights how highly trusted systems like MCP servers are being exploited. Service providers are urged to be vigilant, as this attack marks the emergence of a new vulnerability within increasingly complex software environments.Moving to Microsoft, the company is revamping its Marketplace to introduce stricter partner rules and enhanced discoverability for partner solutions. Microsoft's new initiative, Intune for MSPs, aims to address the needs of managed service providers who have long struggled with multi-tenancy management. Additionally, the company's new "Agent Mode" in Excel and Word promises to streamline productivity by automating tasks but has raised concerns over its accuracy. Despite the potential, Microsoft's tightening ecosystem requires careful navigation for both customers and partners, with compliance and risk management being central to successful engagement.Finally, Broadcom's decision to end support for VMware vSphere 7 has left customers with difficult decisions. As part of Broadcom's transition to a subscription-based model, customers face either costly upgrades, cloud migrations, or reliance on third-party support. Gartner predicts that a significant number of VMware customers will migrate to the cloud in the coming years, and this shift presents a valuable opportunity for service providers to act as trusted advisors in guiding clients through the transition. For those who can manage the complexity of this migration, there's a once-in-a-generation opportunity to capture long-term customer loyalty. Three things to know today00:00 California Enacts Nation's First AI Transparency Law, Mandating Safety Disclosures and Whistleblower Protections05:25 First Malicious MCP Server Discovered, Exposing Email Data and Raising New Software Supply Chain Fears07:16 Microsoft's New Playbook: Stricter Marketplace, Finally Some MSP Love, and AI That's Right Only Half the Time11:07 VMware Customers Face Subscription Shift, Rising Cloud Moves, and Risky Alternatives as Broadcom Ends vSphere 7 This is the Business of Tech.   Supported by: https://scalepad.com/dave/https://mailprotector.com/ Webinar:  https://bit.ly/msprmail All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

From automating complex document analysis and accelerating legal research to transforming case management and client support, AI is becoming an increasingly integrated tool for law firms and legal departments globally. Yet, this rapid evolution also presents a unique set of challenges, including critical debates around intellectual property ownership, stringent data privacy regulations, and the ever-present need to ensure ethical and unbiased application. Today, we'll delve into how legal professionals are harnessing these powerful technologies, balancing their transformative potential with the essential human expertise, judgment, and oversight that remain at the heart of effective legal practice. Join us as we examine the evolving landscape, where technology and legal acumen converge to define the future of law.Harvey opens Sydney office to expand AI legal services in Asia-Pacific2025-09-10 | SecurityBrief UKBurford Expands Legal Industry Footprint with Strategic Kindleworth Deal2025-09-10 | JDJournalSoftware: Secured Signing Joins Clio's App Directory to Simplify Digital Legal Document Signing2025-09-10 | Publishers NewswireBay Legal, PC and XPRTS Inc.

Last year, Colorado signed a first-of-its-kind artificial intelligence measure into law. The Colorado AI Act would require developers of high-risk AI systems to take reasonable steps to prevent harms to consumers, such as algorithmic discrimination, including by conducting impact assessments on their tools.But last week, the state kicked off a special session where lawmakers held frenzied negotiations over whether to expand or dilute its protections. The chapter unfolded amid fierce lobbying by industry groups and consumer advocates. Ultimately, the state legislature punted on amending the law but agreed to delay its implementation from February to June of next year. The move likely tees up another round of contentious talks over one of the nation's most sprawling AI statues.This week, Tech Policy Press associate editor Cristiano Lima-Strong spoke to two local reporters who have been closely tracking the saga for the Colorado Sun: political reporter and editor Jesse Paul and politics and policy reporter Taylor Dolven.

Welcome to "AI Lawyer Talking Tech," your essential guide to the future of the legal profession, where bytes meet briefs and innovation remakes the practice of law. The legal world is experiencing a profound transformation, as artificial intelligence rapidly redefines how legal work is performed, from courtrooms to corporate boardrooms. Today, we'll delve into how legal, tax, and compliance departments are spearheading AI adoption, utilizing professional-grade tools for tasks like research, drafting, and anomaly detection, dramatically boosting efficiency and competitiveness. Yet, this revolution comes with critical challenges, including persistent AI "hallucinations" in legal filings and the growing concern of AI bias lawsuits, emphasizing the non-negotiable need for meticulous human oversight and ethical guidelines. We'll also unpack the complex, evolving regulatory landscape as states introduce varied AI laws, and discuss how firms are embracing managed service organizations (MSOs) and investing in secure, enterprise-grade AI solutions while providing continuous education to empower legal professionals. Join us as we explore how AI, rather than replacing legal expertise, is enhancing attorney-client relationships and setting a new standard for strategic partnership in an increasingly complex world.Why Corporate AI Adoption Comes from an Unlikely Source2025-08-18 | IndustryToday.comWolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory Businesses Announce Collaboration with Harvey2025-08-18 | Legal ReaderText and Data Mining Exemptions to Copyright Protection Around the World2025-08-18 | JD SupraLaw Firm MSOs and Legal Ethics Regulations: Lessons from Texas Opinion 7062025-08-18 | JD SupraAnother Brilliant Idea! the Hidden Dangers of Sycophantic AI2025-08-18 | LLRXYour Firm's AI Policy Probably Sucks: Why Law Firms Need Education, Not Rules2025-08-18 | JD SupraLitigation funder could buy stakes in US firms2025-08-18 | Law Society GazetteIt's a New Dawn In Legal Tech: From Woodstock to ILTACON (And Beyond)2025-08-18 | LawSitesMozilla warns Germany could soon declare ad blockers illegal2025-08-18 | Bleeping ComputerFlo Nicolas On Why Contracts Aren't Just Legal Tools, They're Business Signals2025-08-18 | Above The LawHow Leading Law Firms Are Redefining Client Advocacy2025-08-18 | Exposed MagazineTransforming Legal Practices: The Revolution of AI Technology2025-08-18 | InvestorsHangout.comFrom courtroom to code: How AI is shaping our legal system2025-08-18 | Legal CheekHarvey Boosts Inhouse Reach With Ironclad CLM Deal2025-08-18 | Artificial LawyerGenAI hallucinations are still pervasive in legal filings, but better lawyering is the cure2025-08-18 | Thomson Reuters InstituteUpdated, Around 17% of Legal Jobs At AI Risk – Goldman Sachs2025-08-18 | Artificial LawyerLead Article: When Machines Discriminate: The Rise of AI Bias Lawsuits2025-08-18 | Quinn Emanuel Trial LawyersArtificial Intelligence Update - August 20252025-08-18 | Quinn Emanuel Trial LawyersHIPAA FAQs Updated to Support “Make Health Tech Great Again” Initiative2025-08-18 | Dinsmore & ShohlAugust 18, 2025 Foley Ignite California Courts Announce New AI Regulations On July 18, 2025, California's Judicial Council approved a set of rules for integrating generative AI into judicial operations.

HR3 Jersey Joe: UK Global warming sketch from 2013, AI Law 8-7-25 by John Rush

Imagine a future where the most persuasive voices in our society aren't human. Where AI generated speech fills our newsfeeds, talks to our children, and influences our elections. Where digital systems with no consciousness can hold bank accounts and property.  Where AI companies have transferred the wealth of human labor and creativity to their own ledgers without having to pay a cent. All without any legal accountability.This isn't a science fiction scenario. It's the future we're racing towards right now. The biggest tech companies are working right now to tip the scale of power in society away from humans and towards their AI systems. And the biggest arena for this fight is in the courts.In the absence of regulation, it's largely up to judges to determine the guardrails around AI. Judges who are relying on slim technical knowledge and archaic precedent to decide where this all goes. In this episode, Harvard Law professor Larry Lessig and Meetali Jain, director of the Tech Justice Law Project help make sense of the court's role in steering AI and what we can do to help steer it better.Your Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology.

Kevin Werbach interviews Dale Cendali, one of the country's leading intellectual property (IP) attorneys, to discuss how courts are grappling with copyright questions in the age of generative AI. Over 30 lP awsuits already filed against major generative AI firms, and the outcomes may shape the future of AI as well as creative industries. While we couldn't discuss specifics of one of the most talked-about cases, Thomson Reuters v. ROSS -- because Cendali is litigating it on behalf of Thomson Reuters -- she drew on her decades of experience in IP law to provide an engaging look at the legal battlefield and the prospects for resolution.  Cendali breaks down the legal challenges around training AI on copyrighted materials—from books to images to music—and explains why these cases are unusually complex for copyright law. She discusses the recent US Copyright Office report on Generative AI training, what counts as infringement in AU outputs, and what is sufficient human authorship for copyirght protection of AI works. While precedent offers some guidance, Cendali notes that outcomes will depend heavily on the specific facts of each case. The conversation also touches on how well courts can adapt existing copyright law to these novel technologies, and the prospects for a legislative solution. Dale Cendali is a partner at Kirkland & Ellis, where she leads the firm's nationwide copyright, trademark, and internet law practice. She has been named one of the 25 Icons of IP Law and one of the 100 Most Influential Lawyers in America. She also serves as an advisor to the American Law Institute's Copyright Restatement project and sits on the Board of the International Trademark Association.

Kevin Werbach interviews Brenda Leong, Director of the AI division at boutique technology law firm ZwillGen, to explore how legal practitioners are adapting to the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence. Leong explains why meaningful AI audits require deep collaboration between lawyers and data scientists, arguing that legal systems have not kept pace with the speed and complexity of technological change. Drawing on her experience at Luminos.Law—one of the first AI-specialist law firms—she outlines how companies can leverage existing regulations, industry-specific expectations, and contextual risk assessments to build practical, responsible AI governance frameworks. Leong emphasizes that many organizations now treat AI oversight not just as a legal compliance issue, but as a critical business function. As AI tools become more deeply embedded in legal workflows and core operations, she highlights the growing need for cautious interpretation, technical fluency, and continuous adaptation within the legal field. Brenda Leong is Director of ZwillGen's AI Division, where she leads legal-technical collaboration on AI governance, risk management, and model audits. Formerly Managing Partner at Luminos.Law, she pioneered many of the audit practices now used at ZwillGen. She serves on the Advisory Board of the IAPP AI Center, teaches AI law at IE University, and previously led AI and ethics work at the Future of Privacy Forum.  Transcript   AI Audits: Who, When, How...Or Even If?   Why Red Teaming Matters Even More When AI Starts Setting Its Own Agenda

On this episode of The Geek in Review, we welcome Philip Young, co-founder and CEO of Garfield AI, the first AI-powered law firm approved for practice by the UK's Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). The episode kicks off with a discussion of recent stories that explore AI's evolving role in legal proceedings, such as avatars testifying in court and the ethical challenges that arise when deepfakes and synthetic personas enter the legal process. Philip, a seasoned litigator and technologist, draws from his 25 years of legal experience to weigh in on the potential and perils of AI-driven courtrooms, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and trust in legal proceedings.Young shares the backstory behind Garfield AI, which was inspired by a real-world problem faced by his brother-in-law, a plumber who struggled to recover small debts from non-paying clients. Seeing an opportunity to help small businesses navigate the small claims process efficiently, affordably, and with minimal friction, Philip set out to build a system that mirrors what a traditional law firm would do—without the high cost or time burden. Garfield reads invoices and contracts, verifies the legitimacy of claims, guides users through pre-action letters, claim filings, and even court preparation, all while remaining compliant with UK legal standards.One of the most unique features of Garfield AI is its dual design: it serves both pro se claimants and can be white-labeled for use by traditional law firms. Young explains how legal professionals can integrate Garfield into their workflows, using it to generate documents under their own branding while Garfield handles the backend. This hybrid approach provides flexibility for users, whether they prefer a self-service platform or seek a human-in-the-loop experience. Garfield's early success has sparked interest across the legal spectrum—from solo practitioners to regulatory bodies—demonstrating that AI can support, rather than displace, the legal profession.The conversation also delves into Garfield's journey to regulatory approval. Young describes the rigorous process of working with the SRA, ensuring the platform aligned with legal duties to clients and the courts. He highlights the importance of maintaining accountability and explains how Garfield was rolled out cautiously, with layers of human oversight and a roadmap toward data-driven, risk-based review. With increasing inquiries from international regulators and courts, Young sees the platform as a potential blueprint for improving access to justice beyond the UK, although he notes that success depends on a supportive regulatory environment, judicial openness, and sufficient technological infrastructure.Beyond the tech, the episode emphasizes the human element of law. Young passionately advocates for AI as a tool that enhances legal practice rather than replaces it—freeing lawyers from mundane tasks and enabling them to focus on strategy, advocacy, and client care. He shares his hope that Garfield AI and similar innovations will close the access-to-justice gap by enabling small-value claims to be pursued cost-effectively and fairly. As he notes, AI may never replace the human lawyer's emotional intelligence and presence in court, but it can certainly help more people get there.To learn more about Garfield AI and its innovative approach to legal automation, listeners can visit www.garfield.law.

(0:00) Intro(1:26) About the podcast sponsor: The American College of Governance Counsel(2:13) Start of interview(2:45) Robin's origin story(3:55) About the AI Law and Innovation Institute.(5:02) On AI governance: "AI is critical for boards, both from a risk management perspective and from a regulatory management perspective." Boards should: 1) Get regular updates on safety and regulatory issues, 2) document the attention that they're paying to it to have a record of meaningful oversight, and 3) Most importantly, boards can't just rely on feedback from the folks in charge of the AI tools. They need a red team of skeptics.(9:58) Boards and AI Ethics. Robin's Rules of Order for AI. Rule #1: Distinguish Real-time Dangers from Distant Dangers(15:21) Antitrust Concerns in AI(18:10) Geopolitical Tensions in AI Race (US v China). "Winning the AI race is essential for the US, both from an economic and from a national security perspective."(23:30) Regulatory Framework for AI "It really isn't one size fits all for AI regulation. Europe, for the most part, is a consumer nation of AI. We are a producer nation of AI, and California in particular is a producer of AI." "There must be strong partnerships in this country between those developing cutting-edge technology and the government—because while the government holds the power, Silicon Valley holds the expertise to understand what this technology truly means."(26:46) California's AI Regulation Efforts "I do believe that over time, at some point, we will need a more comprehensive system that probably overshadows what the individual states will do, or at least cabins to some extent what the individual states will do. It will be a problem to have 50 different approaches to this, or even 20 different approaches to this within the country."(29:03) AI in the Financial Industry(33:13) Future Trends in AI. "I think the key for boards and companies is to be alert and to be nimble" and "as hard as it is, brush up a bit on your math and science, if that's not your area of expertise." "My point is simply, you have to understand these things under the hood if you're going to be able to think about what to do with them."(35:43) Her new book "AI vs IP. Rewriting Creativity" (coming out July 2025).(37:12) Key Considerations for Board Members: "It's about being nimble, staying proactive and having a proven track record of it. Most importantly, you need a red team approach."(38:26) Books that have greatly influenced her life:Rashi's Commentary on the BibleTalmud(39:06) Her mentors.Professor Robert WeisbergProfessor Gerald Gunther(41:39) Quotes that she thinks of often or lives her life by: "The cover-up's always worse than the crime."(42:34) An unusual habit or an absurd thing that she loves. Robin Feldman is the Arthur J.

This week we sit down with Sean West—co-founder of Hence Technologies and author of Unruly: Fighting Back When Politics and Law Upend the Rules of Business. Together, they explore the shifting fault lines where law, technology, and geopolitics collide. From the growing reliance on generative AI in legal work to the erosion of rule of law and the emerging threats (and opportunities) facing knowledge workers, Sean offers a strikingly global—and at times unsettling—view of the legal profession's next frontier.The conversation kicks off with a discussion on the Law360 survey showing that 62% of lawyers are using ChatGPT in some aspect of their work. Sean explains the popularity of general-purpose AI tools over legal-specific ones as a matter of price, accessibility, and perceived innovation. While lawyers trust themselves to edit AI outputs, Sean warns that this passive use of AI could slowly and invisibly displace traditional legal roles, without firms consciously realizing what's been lost.The discussion deepens as Sean introduces the idea of passive job displacement—where tasks once assigned to junior lawyers, interns, or external vendors are quietly absorbed by AI tools. He likens it to carrying "a quarter of a human brain in your pocket" for $20 a month. What starts as convenience becomes infrastructure, and over time, demand for human input declines. He also questions the long-term viability of legal tech products that can't clearly outperform generalist AIs like ChatGPT or Claude.Sean then draws on his geopolitical expertise to underscore the urgent need for situational awareness in law firms and businesses alike. He explains how political volatility—from China and Taiwan to Europe's regulatory tactics—can suddenly reshape the legal landscape. Rather than relying on traditional prediction models or complex advisory plans that get shelved, Sean emphasizes proactive legal scenario planning. His new product, Hence Global, offers a “geo-legal” lens on global news, customized for specific legal practice areas to help firms act instead of react.We push further into the implications of “front-stabbing” politics, where once-hidden power plays are now openly transactional. Sean describes a world where AI-driven lobbying, mass arbitration spam, and “robot lawyers” can reshape public policy or flood companies with legal claims at scale. He argues that when the rules are ambiguous, large players will push boundaries—and smaller players may get squeezed out. In a world without a clear referee, the game favors those who can afford better tools and faster moves.Finally, Sean challenges legal and corporate leaders to stop avoiding the hard conversations. Whether embracing AI to boost productivity or choosing to protect jobs, organizations must be transparent. “Let's front-stab about it,” he says. Make your commitments public—whether you're retraining your workforce or doubling down on AI-driven efficiency. Because in a world where legal, political, and technological lines blur, silence isn't just unhelpful—it's a risk.Links and Mentions:Learn more about Unruly and Sean's work at https://hence.aiSubscribe to Sean's newsletter: https://geolegal.substack.comTry Hence Global with a discount: global.hence.ai – use promo code GEEK for one-third offListen on mobile platforms:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Blue Sky: ⁠⁠@geeklawblog.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@marlgeb⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jerry David DeCicca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Transcript

In this episode of Technology & Security, Dr. Miah Hammond-Errey is joined by Professor Lyria Bennett Moses, one of Australia's foremost experts in technology and law. We explore how government responses to AI often focus on regulating technology rather than addressing the human and social challenges these systems impact. We discuss how to centre humanity in legal responses to technology. We examine regulatory approaches, anti-discrimination laws and governance structures to better address the realities of AI-driven decision-making. As AI is increasingly embedded in daily life, much like past technological shifts, its influence may become invisible, but its impact on knowledge, democracy, and security will be significant.Future leaders must develop systems thinking, recognising the deep interconnections between technology, law, politics, and security. Education must beyond data literacy to equip students with an understanding of how different systems function and their limitations. AI is reshaping how we access information, formulate ideas, and tell stories and it is shifting power in ways we are only beginning to grasp. In this episode, we explore the evolving role of search and AI-generated knowledge and the geopolitical tensions shaping the future of technology. This thought-provoking conversation will change the way you think about AI, law, knowledge creation and the future of regulation.Professor Lyria Bennett Moses is the head of the School of Law, Society and Criminology and a professor at the University of New South Wales. She was previously the director of the Allens Hub for technology and has held many academic leadership and research roles related to law, data, cybersecurity and AI. She's worked on AI standards with Standards Australia and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and has published extensively on technology and law. Lyria is a member of numerous editorial boards. She is a fellow of the Australian Academy of Law and Royal Society of New South Wales, and a fellow of the Association of Social Sciences Australia. Resources mentioned in the recording:+ The Rest is History podcast (BBC) www.therestishistory.com+ The Machine Stops, E.M Forster  This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Gadigal people, and we pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

This Day in Legal History: Fugitive Slave Act SignedOn September 18, 1850, U.S. President Millard Fillmore signed the Fugitive Slave Act into law, a key and highly controversial component of the Compromise of 1850 and a dark moment in American history – unfortunately, one among many in the 19th century. The Act required that escaped slaves, even if they had reached free states, be captured and returned to their enslavers. It also imposed heavy penalties on anyone who aided a fugitive slave, including fines and imprisonment. Disturbingly, the law authorized federal marshals and local law enforcement to arrest individuals based on little more than a slaveholder's claim, placing free Black men and women at risk of being falsely accused and sold into slavery.The Fugitive Slave Act enraged abolitionists and free states in the North, who viewed the law as a gross infringement on their legal sovereignty and moral principles. Northern citizens were now legally obligated to participate in the enforcement of slavery, a practice many detested. Conversely, slaveholders in the South celebrated the law as a victory, seeing it as essential for the preservation of their economic system. This deepened the divide between North and South, escalating tensions that would eventually lead to the Civil War. The Act's passage not only exposed the fragility of compromises between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions but also galvanized the abolitionist movement. It showed how far the federal government was willing to go to protect the institution of slavery, making resistance increasingly inevitable.In a piece I wrote for Forbes, I weighed in to a tax policy proposed by former President Donald Trump. Floated by Trump at a rally in Arizona, the "No Tax on Overtime" policy aims to eliminate income tax on overtime pay, echoing a previous proposal to end taxes on tips. While the policy is presented as a way to relieve tax burdens on hourly workers, a closer analysis reveals several potential issues. By creating a tax-free incentive for overtime, the policy could favor workers able to put in extra hours, leaving others—like working parents—disadvantaged. This could deepen income inequality, as those unable to work overtime would continue paying taxes on their standard wages, while others benefit from a lighter tax burden. Additionally, employers may shift compensation structures to push for longer working hours, leading to lower base wages and a culture of overwork. Implementation of the policy would also create administrative challenges for employers and the IRS. Instead of targeted tax breaks, broader reforms like increasing the federal minimum wage might better address wage inequities without distorting the labor market.‘No Tax On Overtime' Policy Would Be Even Worse Than ‘No Tax On Tips'In the first 10 days of Kamala Harris's presidential campaign, lawyers contributed more to her than they did to Donald Trump's campaign over nearly two years, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) data. Harris received nearly $8.3 million from around 26,000 contributions from individuals listing "attorney" or "lawyer" as their occupation after Joe Biden endorsed her in July 2024. In comparison, Trump's campaign, which began in November 2022, raised about $6.88 million from lawyers over that entire period. Lawyers have historically favored Democratic candidates, with Harris's and Biden's campaigns together raising significantly more from the legal profession than Trump's campaign. In previous elections, Democratic candidates like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden have all received much more financial support from lawyers than their Republican counterparts. The data reflects a broader trend where large law firms and individual lawyers increasingly lean toward Democratic candidates.Lawyers Give More to Harris in 10 Days Than Trump in Entire RaceDonald Trump recently pledged to restore the state and local tax (SALT) deduction, a tax break he limited during his presidency as part of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. In a post on Truth Social, Trump promised to reverse the $10,000 cap on SALT deductions, which has disproportionately impacted residents in high-tax areas like New York, especially in suburban areas where property values are high. The cap was initially supported by Republicans as it helped balance tax cuts elsewhere in the law. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized Trump's reversal, pointing out that Trump himself had imposed the cap. Repealing the limit could add an estimated $1.2 trillion to the cost of extending the tax law. Trump's focus on this issue, particularly in Long Island, reflects the area's significance in ongoing battles for control of the U.S. House of Representatives.Trump Pledges to Restore SALT Write-Off, Tax Break He Curbed (1)Yesterday, on September 17, 2024, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed two bills designed to protect actors and performers from unauthorized use of their digital likenesses by artificial intelligence. One bill mandates that contracts specify when AI-generated replicas of a performer's voice or image will be used, requiring the performer to have professional representation in contract negotiations. The other bill prohibits the commercial use of digital replicas of deceased performers without consent from their estates. These laws respond to growing concerns in the entertainment industry about AI's potential to exploit performers' likenesses without permission, part of broader fears about AI's ethical and legal implications.California governor signs legislation to protect entertainers from AI | Reuters This is a public episode.

Hosts Michael Snyder and Joseph Gushue kick off a two-part series on artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on intellectual property (IP) rights in an individual's persona. They delve into generative AI, explaining how it creates text, images, and voices that closely mimic human attributes, and discuss the right of publicity, a legal doctrine that protects an individual's likeness and voice from unauthorized commercial use. The hosts explore AI's portrayal of humans in pop culture, citing films like Terminator 2, S1m0ne, and Her to illustrate AI's potential to replicate human beings. These examples set the stage for a deeper understanding of the real-world implications of AI in the realm of IP. Michael and Joe explain how generative AI models, trained on vast amounts of data, produce human-like outputs, highlighting the complexities of AI in the context of IP rights. They discuss historical and contemporary cases, such as Bette Midler vs. Ford Motor Company, Tom Waits vs. Frito-Lay, and the recent controversy involving Scarlett Johansson and OpenAI, to underscore the significance of the right of publicity in the age of AI. The episode wraps up with reflections on the ongoing concerns with new technology and IP rights, noting these issues have recurred throughout history with each technological leap.
